SRES 502 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution recognizing November 2025 as "National Family Caregivers Month".

This Senate resolution (SRES 502) designates November 2025 as "National Family Caregivers Month" to honor the over 63 million unpaid family caregivers in the U.S. who provide essential care to loved ones with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or aging needs, estimated to be worth $600 billion annually. It specifically commends these caregivers - disproportionately women - facing challenges like financial strain and isolation, and references the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers as a policy framework. The resolution encourages public awareness and support for caregivers but does not create new laws or funding. As a symbolic gesture, it directly affects no individuals or programs, serving solely to recognize and raise awareness about caregivers' contributions.
