Unpaid caregivers save the U.S. an est. $600B annually. During Older Americans Month, we honor the 53 million family caregivers who provide an average of 24+ hours of care each week and help millions of Americans live as independently as possible.
As an Aging American with an IDD, I know firsthand the REAL IMPORTANCE of Family Caregivers! If it wasn’t for my Family, especially my wife Katty, our family would not be able to get by as successfully as we have for the past 20 years.
As Chairman of the Florida Developmental Disabilities Council, I am extremely grateful to ALL of the Caregivers out there that contribute to making the lives of those persons living with a Disability successful!
Sincerely,
Eddie Hall
Florida Developmental Disabilities Council Chairman
