Phoenix, AZ ~ Phoenix, AZ - In recognition of the vital role that family caregivers play in Arizona's healthcare landscape, Governor Katie Hobbs has declared November as Arizona Family Caregiver Month. This proclamation honors the thousands of Arizonans who selflessly take on the responsibility of caring for their loved ones.
According to the proclamation, nearly 12% of Arizonans are currently providing care to a family member living with dementia, a chronic disease, a disability, or who is an older adult. These individuals devote countless hours and resources to ensure the well-being of their loved ones, often putting their own lives on hold.
Governor Hobbs expressed her gratitude for these unsung heroes, stating that they provide critical and compassionate care that goes above and beyond what is provided through the healthcare system. She believes that they deserve recognition for their dedication and hard work.
The governor also highlighted the significant impact that family caregivers have on Arizona's economy. They contribute over 800 million hours of unpaid work each year, which equates to approximately $14.5 billion in value.

The Arizona State Plan on Aging for 2023-2026 and the Arizona Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia State Plan for 2024-2029 provide multi-agency frameworks to support older Arizonans and their caregivers. These plans aim to improve the quality of life for both caregivers and those receiving care.
Dana Kennedy, State Director of AARP Arizona, emphasized the crucial role that family caregivers play in the state's long-term care system. With over 850,000 family caregivers in Arizona providing billions of dollars worth of unpaid care, Kennedy commended Governor Hobbs for making family caregiving a priority.
Kennedy also praised the governor's staff for their efforts in creating a caregiver roadmap and expressed AARP Arizona's commitment to continue supporting family caregivers not just in November but also in the future.
The proclamation can be read here as a testament to the state's recognition and appreciation for the hard work and dedication of family caregivers. As Arizona Family Caregiver Month begins, let us all take a moment to recognize and thank these unsung heroes for their invaluable contributions to our communities.
