A thank you to the carers this National Caregivers Day

Posting date: 02/01/25

From physical support to emotional connection, Caregivers offer so much to those that they serve. Recognizing the selfless work of caregivers is essential every day of the year, however, it comes into particular focus with National Caregivers Day.

To the Senior Resource Group team, National Caregivers Day is a special time. It represents an opportunity to say thank you to the exceptional caregivers who are part of the SRG community. Thank you for the amazing work they do to make sure that everyone in every SRG community feels a valued part of the family.

What is National Caregivers Day and when is National Caregivers Day in 2025? 

Observed on the third Friday in February, which this year falls on February 21st, National Caregivers Day is a day to celebrate and recognize the essential work of the caregiving community. This incorporates those providing emotional, physical and psychological support across a wide spectrum of industries and circumstances, from family caregivers to those working as caregivers in a professional capacity. 

The idea for this important day of recognition and appreciation of caregivers was a bright spark from the Providers Association for Home Health & Hospice Agencies. In 2016, the first National Caregivers Day was officially observed. 

Practicing caregiver appreciation every day of the year

While February 21st may be the 2025 National Caregivers Day, recognizing the selfless work of caregivers is something that should be done year-round. Caregivers not only fill a vital healthcare need, they also improve the quality of life for millions of people across the US. 

Caregiving can be a deeply rewarding career, but it can also be emotionally and at times physically challenging. It is vital that caregivers are supported and appreciated so they can provide the best care to those they are assisting. 

With an ageing population, an increasing number of people are finding they need to rely on caregivers. Studies have found as many as 30% of adults over the age of 65 receive some form of help or assistance, and close to one in five Americans are classed as caregivers.

But, as the saying goes, you can't pour from an empty cup. So, at SRG we continually work to support our caregivers, not just on National Caregivers Day, but every day of the year. This support better equips our caregivers to look after their own needs and in turn, they can better care for the needs of those they are dedicated to helping as well. 

Caregiver Appreciation Day at SRG 

SRG is built on the foundations of compassion, connection, commitment, and collaboration. When ensuring the needs of every member of the SRG family are met, we always put these values at the forefront of our actions. 

Our commitment to creating a supportive and compassionate environment goes further than just providing excellence for those who benefit from our exceptional services. The SRG team works enthusiastically to ensure everyone in the SRG family is immersed in an environment that is compassionate, supports diversity and inclusion, is driven by teamwork and shared goals, and every member of staff feels supported to deliver excellent service.

At SRG, appreciating the incredible work of our caregivers is something we strive to do on National Caregivers Day and on every other day of the year as well. 

How to thank a caregiver you know

This National Caregivers Day, every carer in the country deserves a thank you. If you are looking for some caregiver appreciation ideas for a caregiver that you know, then something as simple as writing a heartfelt thank you card or asking them how they are in a safe space can be a great place to start.

Join a place immensely proud of its caregivers

Caregivers offer so much, from practical assistance to gentle companionship and emotional support, caregivers help to improve the quality of life of vulnerable people around the country. At SRG we are proud to recognize and celebrate our exceptional caregivers on National Caregivers Day 2025, and appreciate their incredible efforts and impact every day of the year. 

For anyone wanting to embark on the rewarding journey of a career as a caregiver, SRG is here to support you every step of the way.
