During National Caregivers Month, Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the largest provider of in-home and community-based services for older adults and people living with disabilities in Southeastern Massachusetts, will celebrate dedicated caregivers who make a positive impact in others’ lives.
The number of caregivers in the U.S. has risen significantly. According to data from the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP’s Caregiving in the US 2025, the number of family caregivers has grown to 63 million – or one in four – American adults.
OCES is honoring the selfless dedication of caregivers who make a real difference in the lives of others and is inviting individuals and companies to nominate a family member, friend, or associate who has gone above and beyond to care for someone in the community.
From now through October 6, 2025, OCES is accepting nominations of local caregivers (within OCES’ service area) to be highlighted during National Caregivers Month in November.
“We look forward to celebrating our community’s caregivers, sharing their stories and honoring their commitment to caregiving during National Family Caregivers Month,” said Nicole Long, MSW, LICSW, and CEO of OCES.
Throughout November, OCES will spotlight each nominated caregiver, sharing their story in a special Caregiver Edition newsletter and across our social media channels.
