Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution formally recognizes November 2025 as "National Family Caregivers Month" to honor the 63 million Americans who provide unpaid care to family members with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or aging-related needs. The resolution highlights that these caregivers, who are predominantly women, contribute an estimated $600 billion worth of unpaid care annually while often facing financial strain, physical and emotional exhaustion, and social isolation. The measure commends family caregivers for their essential role in the U.S. healthcare system and references the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers as important guidance for better supporting this population. As a resolution rather than legislation, this measure does not create new programs, allocate funding, or establish binding requirements, but instead serves to formally recognize caregivers and encourage Americans to learn more about family caregiving challenges.
