On June 24th, the Home Care Community is came together to recognize the more than 60,000 home care aides in the Commonwealth with a Home Care Aide Recognition Day. 

To highlight the work of these critical caregivers, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the home care community recognized over 100 home health and home care aides by sharing their stories.

The Home Care Aide Council salutes all home care aides and especially the 50+ Home Care Aides nominated by our members today, who have gone above and beyond during the pandemic, providing high quality services with care and compassion despite the risks and challenges presented by the Coronavirus.
