As part of National Home Care Month, by the National Alliance for Care at Home based in Alexandria, Virginia, has designated November 8-14, 2026, as National Home Care Week.
November is such an important awareness month for seniors, given that Veterans Day is always November 11, and that other senior awareness weeks take place, including the week of November 1st, which was Hospice & Palliative Care Week; Medicaid HCBS Week follows next week, the week of the 15th, and Home Health Week finishes November, beginning the week of the 22nd to the last day of the month.
Visiting Nurse Services in Westchester here in White Plains takes Home Care Week to heart, as they value their hard-working nurses tremendously.
"Home Care Week is so important to us as we value all of our frontline staff, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, social workers, and home health aides in the highest regard, " said Diane Law, Acting CEO of Visiting Nurse Services in Westchester. "What they all do, day in and day out, to care for the residents throughout Westchester and beyond, is purely immeasurable."
