Proclamation 9960 of October 31, 2019

National Family Caregivers Month, 2019

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

Selfless Americans across our country consistently dedicate themselves
and their resources to providing ailing and aging loved ones with the
care and support they need to live in their own homes and communities.
Throughout National Family Caregivers Month, we pause to recognize the
men and women who tirelessly work to improve the quality of life for
Americans in need of care.
Caregivers help their family members live fulfilling lives by providing
vital assistance in domestic, financial, and medical affairs. The
responsibility of serving and supporting another person can be
challenging, and the strength and compassion exhibited by caregivers is
one of the greatest manifestations of genuine love we witness in this
world. Their unrelenting support enables family members to live with
dignity.
As we honor the innumerable sacrifices made in homes across the country,
we affirm our resolve to ensure all caregivers are given the resources
and respect they deserve. This support requires a commitment from
community stakeholders and Federal, State, and local governments to
equip caregivers with training and tools to use to safeguard their
family's health and security. This past summer, the Administration for
Community Living held the inaugural meetings of the Family Caregiving
Advisory Council and the Advisory Council to Support Grandparents
Raising Grandchildren. The strategies, informational resources, and
technical assistance being developed by these councils will strengthen
our Nation's support for family caregivers and their work enhancing the
lives of millions of Americans.
This November, we recognize and honor the commitment of those who
exemplify the essential American tenets of devotion to family and
compassion toward those who matter most in our lives. Through
caregivers' generosity, our vulnerable communities are able to fully
experience the many blessings of our great Nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States do hereby proclaim November 2019 as
National Family Caregivers Month. I encourage all Americans to reach out
to those who provide care for their family members, friends, and
neighbors in need, to honor and thank them.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of
October, in the year of our Lord two thousand nineteen, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
fourth.
DONALD J. TRUMP
