National Caregivers Day: Celebrating the Compassion of Those Who Care for Others

National Caregivers Day, observed annually on the third Friday of February, is a time to honor the remarkable individuals who dedicate their time, energy and hearts to caring for others. This year, Liberty Home Care and Hospice recognizes the millions of Americans who provide essential—and often unseen—support to loved ones facing health challenges.

Caregivers play a vital role in maintaining the physical, emotional and social well-being of those they assist. Their kindness and dedication strengthen families, neighborhoods and entire communities.

The Essential Role of Caregivers

Caregivers manage a wide range of responsibilities, including:

  • Medical assistance and medication management
  • Personal grooming and hygiene
  • Meal preparation and household upkeep
  • Transportation and scheduling
  • Social engagement and companionship
  • Coordinating care with doctors, hospitals and insurance teams

While these tasks are demanding on their own, many caregivers juggle them alongside full‑time careers and family commitments.

Caregiving Continues to Rise Across the Nation

Caregiving in the United States has expanded significantly over the past decade, with new data highlighting just how essential—and challenging—this role has become.

According to the Caregiving in the U.S. 2025 report from the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and AARP, an estimated 63 million Americans—about 1 in 4 adults—are unpaid family caregivers, a 45 percent increase since 2015.

The 2025 survey highlights the growth of millennial and Gen Z caregivers, noting that 29 percent of caregivers fall into the “sandwich generation” caring for both children and adults. Among caregivers under 50, that share rises to 47 percent. According to the survey, 64 percent of caregivers report emotional stress.

These updated statistics show that caregivers are doing more than ever and facing growing challenges that deserve recognition and support.

How to Show Appreciation on National Caregivers Day

If someone in your life is a caregiver, here are meaningful ways to express gratitude:

  • Share a heartfelt message: A personal letter or card can remind caregivers that their work is seen and appreciated.
  • Gift something comforting: Small items like books, baked treats, candles or soothing lotions can offer moments of peace.
  • Offer a much‑needed break: Your time can be a gift. Providing a few hours of respite can give caregivers the chance to rest and recharge.
  • Encourage them to access support resources: Caregivers often don’t ask for help. Sharing information about respite care or support programs can make a world of difference.

Respite Care Support Through Liberty Hospice

For our Liberty Hospice families, we provide respite care that allows caregivers to rest, take a vacation or simply regain balance.

Respite care provides up to five consecutive days of inpatient care at a Medicare-certified nursing facility or hospital, where the patient’s hospice interdisciplinary team will continue to visit them and provide care as needed. We also provide counseling and support services to families.

A Message of Gratitude

At Liberty Home Care and Hospice, we extend our deepest appreciation to every caregiver who supports their loved ones, neighbors and friends. Your compassion is powerful. Your dedication is inspiring. Your kindness deserves to be celebrated—not only on National Caregivers Day, but every single day.

Common Myths About Hospice Care

Hospice care offers compassionate support for individuals and families facing life’s final chapter, focusing on comfort, dignity and peace. Unfortunately, misconceptions about hospice care often prevent people from seeking the support they need. By addressing these myths, we hope to provide clarity and empower families to make informed decisions about their care options.

Myth 1: Hospice Is Only for the Last Days of Life

Reality: Hospice is not just for the final days of life. Hospice care can actually support a patient and their family for months, focusing on comfort, peace and meaningful moments together. Studies show that when hospice care begins early, it not only improves quality of life, but can sometimes even extend it by managing symptoms effectively.

Myth 2: Hospice Means You Can No Longer Receive Treatment

Reality: Hospice focuses on comfort rather than curative treatments, but that doesn’t mean all medical care stops. Patients continue to receive medications and therapies that manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Additionally, the hospice team provides emotional and spiritual support tailored to each individual’s needs.

Myth 3: Hospice Means Giving Up Hope and Hastens Death

Reality: Hospice does not mean giving up hope but rather shifts the focus to maximizing comfort and quality of life. Many individuals and families find hope in making meaningful memories together, ensuring dignity and maintaining personal control over their care choices. The goal is to make the patient as comfortable as possible, ensuring a peaceful transition for everyone involved.

Myth 4: Hospice Is a Place

Reality: Hospice is not a location—it is a type of care that can be provided in a patient’s home, a skilled nursing facility, an assisted living center or a hospital. The goal is to meet the patient wherever they are most comfortable.

Myth 5: Hospice Is Only for the Elderly

Reality: Hospice is available for individuals of all ages who are facing a life-limiting illness. Regardless of age, hospice focuses on providing personalized care and support to both patients and their families.

Myth 6: Hospice Patients Must Give Up Their Primary Care Physician

Reality: Patients in hospice care can continue seeing their primary care physician. Hospice care is a collaborative approach with an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, aides, social workers, volunteers and chaplains who work together to provide comprehensive support.

Myth 7: Hospice Is Limited to Six Months of Care

Reality: While hospice care is generally intended for patients with a prognosis of six months or less, care can continue beyond that timeframe if a patient remains eligible under medical guidelines. Some patients even improve and transition out of hospice care.

Myth 8: Hospice Provides 24/7 Care

Reality: While hospice staff is available 24/7 for support, routine care is provided through scheduled visits. If an after-hours visit is necessary, on call staff is available to meet the needs of the patient and provide support to the family. Families who need around-the-clock care can work with the hospice team to arrange those services.

Myth 9: Hospice Care Is Expensive

Reality: Hospice is typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance plans at no cost to the patient. Hospice providers cover the cost of medications, disposable supplies and Durable Medical Equipment (DME) needed during hospice care. Financial assistance options are available to ensure access to hospice care, regardless of a family’s financial situation.

Myth 10: Hospice Is Only for the Patient

Reality: Hospice care extends beyond the patient, offering counseling, respite care and support to family members as well. Bereavement services are also available to help families cope with loss before and after the passing of a loved one.

Making an Informed Choice

Understanding the facts about hospice care allows individuals and families to make informed decisions about their healthcare journey. Hospice is not about giving up—it is about ensuring comfort, dignity and the best possible quality of life.

We Honor Veterans logo

Liberty Hospice Locations Achieve Level 3 We Honor Veterans Status

Liberty Hospice is proud to announce that 13 office locations have recently achieved Level 3 Partner status with We Honor Veterans, a national initiative led by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Our Burlington, Dunn, Durham, Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Roanoke Rapids, Sanford, Siler City, Smithfield, Supply, Swanquarter, Wendell, and Wilmington offices now hold Level 3 Partner status, further demonstrating Liberty Hospice’s dedication to ensuring Veterans and their families receive the highest quality hospice care across North Carolina. This accomplishment reflects our ongoing commitment to recognizing, honoring and providing compassionate, specialized care for the Veterans who have bravely served our country.

What Level 3 We Honor Veterans Status Means

Achieving Level 3 Partner status is a significant milestone in the We Honor Veterans program. It requires hospices to go beyond basic recognition of Veterans by actively developing programs, policies and partnerships that ensure Veterans receive care tailored to their unique experiences.

To earn this certification, Liberty Hospice teams have completed a variety of Veteran-focused education, outreach and partnership activities, including:

  • Conducting Veteran-specific training sessions for hospice staff and volunteers
  • Integrating military history checklists into patient intake and care planning
  • Developing and implementing a Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program to connect Veteran patients with fellow Veterans for meaningful support
  • Hosting Veteran-specific outreach presentations within the community and healthcare settings
  • Building strong partnerships with VA Medical Centers and Veteran Service Organizations to ensure Veterans and their families have access to essential benefits and resources

Why This Matters for Veterans and Families

Veterans often face unique physical, emotional and spiritual challenges at the end of life, shaped by their military service. Liberty Hospice recognizes the importance of specialized care that addresses these needs with compassion, dignity and respect.

By participating in the We Honor Veterans program, our teams are able to:

  • Provide personalized hospice care that acknowledges the impact of military service
  • Support families in understanding and accessing Veteran benefits
  • Connect Veteran patients with fellow Veteran volunteers for camaraderie and shared understanding
  • Strengthen community partnerships to expand access to care and resources

Liberty Hospice’s Commitment

At Liberty Hospice, we are honored to care for the Veterans who once served us. Our Burlington, Dunn, Durham, Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Roanoke Rapids, Sanford, Siler City, Smithfield, Supply, Swanquarter, Wendell, and Wilmington hospice teams will continue advancing through the We Honor Veterans program with the goal of achieving Level 4 and Level 5 Partner status in the future.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our Veteran patients and their families for trusting us with their care. It is our privilege to walk alongside them through their hospice journey while providing compassion, respect and honor.

Moments that Matter: Liberty Hospice Fulfills Patient’s Wish to Visit the Beach

Liberty Hospice’s mission extends beyond providing high-quality hospice care. We are committed to honoring the wishes of our patients and helping them experience meaningful moments that matter with their loved ones. Recently, we had the privilege of fulfilling a very special request for one of our patients, Mrs. Dale Curran, who wanted to visit the beach one last time.

Thanks to the collaboration of Liberty Hospice of Supply, Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center and the Southport Fire Department, we were able to make this heartfelt wish a reality.

A Journey to the Shore

On Friday, September 12, 2025, Mrs. Curran was carefully transported from Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center to Caswell Beach, accompanied by her husband, Liberty team members and several members of the Southport Fire Department.

When she arrived at the shoreline, Mrs. Curran was able to feel the sun on her face, place her hands in the ocean and hold seashells. These small but powerful moments brought peace, joy and connection because the beach was always a special place for her and her husband.

Mr. Don Curran shared that he was deeply touched by the experience, noting how much the ocean had meant to them both. Growing up just half a mile from the beach in Massachusetts, the ocean had been a constant presence in their lives—making this final visit especially meaningful.

Compassionate Care Beyond Medical Support

This day served as a reminder that hospice care is about more than medical support—it’s about quality of life, honoring personal wishes and creating meaningful experiences. At Liberty Hospice, we are dedicated to offering compassionate, person-centered care that supports both patients and their families during life’s most precious moments.

We are incredibly grateful to the Southport Fire Department and the staff at Southport Health and Rehabilitation Center for their support and partnership in helping make this special day possible. Together, we were able to give Mr. and Mrs. Curran a memory they will always cherish.
