National Care at Home Month
National Care at Home Month 2024
The National Alliance for Care at Home brings together two legacy organizations – the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization – representing, advocating for, educating, and connecting providers of care in the home for millions of disabled, elderly, and dying Americans who depend on that care. As the two organizations have come together, a new month of recognition, celebration, and storytelling has been created to honor the combined membership of the new organization and the millions of patients and families its members serve nationwide.
We are stronger together, and so is our community of providers. To represent this strength in unity, the Alliance is introducing National Care at Home Month, an annual observance recognized each November to inspire outreach to communities, media, and policymakers, recognize the valuable contributions of provider staff and volunteers, and continue building awareness of the home care continuum.
While we are all working toward a common goal of every American having access to high-quality, person-centered healthcare wherever they call home, there are various types of in-home care that National Care at Home Month celebrates: home health care, private duty home care, hospice care, and palliative care. To this end, we are paying special attention to different types of care at different points throughout November.

National Care at Home Month was born out of the longstanding months of recognition in our care-at-home community – National Hospice and Palliative Care Month and National Home Care and Hospice Month. National Care at Home Month celebrates and supports paid and unpaid caregivers and builds on the existing work of National Family Caregivers Month.
Your participation in National Care at Home Month helps unify and elevate the voice of the care-at-home community. We will continue to be your advocate, resource, and network. Thank you for your support.
We can shape the future of healthcare at home. We are stronger together, so let’s write the story together.
