November is National Family Caregiver Appreciation Month — a time to honor the tireless work and love that caregivers give every day. Here in our region, the Inland Caregiver Resource Center is marking the occasion with a full slate of special events, including three ‘Celebrating Caregiving’ conferences, a 40th anniversary ribbon-cutting, a gala with a silent auction, and the 5th Annual ICRC Week — dedicated to sharing vital resources for caregivers, seniors, and the community. Darlene Merkler, Education and Outreach Coordinator for Inland Caregiver Resource Center, discusses this year’s celebration and why supporting caregivers is so important.
