Celebrating Jeanette: A National Caregiver of the Year Nominee
Jeanette’s nomination for the 2024 National Caregiver of the Year Award is a significant milestone in recognizing her passion, skill, and the personal connection she forms with each of her clients. In an email from HCAOA, it was revealed that Jeanette's nomination stands among a record-breaking number of submissions this year, underscoring the widespread acknowledgment of the invaluable work that caregivers do. Caregivers like Jeanette are a vital part of the home care industry, providing essential services that allow seniors and individuals with disabilities to continue living independently in their own homes.
About the Nomination Process
The nomination process is highly competitive, with the top 10 finalists set to be announced by the end of September. Kore Cares and the local community are encouraged to celebrate her achievements and share these celebrations on a national platform.

There, she would be recognized in front of industry leaders—an honor that would reflect her dedication to both her clients and the broader home care industry.
What Does a Caregiver Do?
Caregivers like Jeanette work tirelessly to ensure the well-being of their clients, often acting as companions, personal aides, and health advocates all rolled into one. These professionals are responsible for helping with daily activities such as meal preparation, medication management, bathing, and transportation. But beyond these tasks, they provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of dignity to those they serve.
The Changing Landscape of Senior Care
The HCAOA's decision to recognize caregivers through its annual awards speaks volumes about the changing landscape of senior care. In an era where more seniors prefer aging in place, the role of home caregivers has become increasingly vital. Kore Cares and home care provides a more personalized and comfortable alternative to traditional care facilities, enabling clients to remain in their familiar environments surrounded by loved ones.

Rapid Home Care Industry Growth
The home care industry is growing rapidly, with more families recognizing the benefits of keeping their loved ones in a home environment rather than moving them to assisted living or nursing homes. This shift is reshaping the future of senior living.
Benefits of Home Care Services
One of the key advantages of home care is the personalized attention clients receive. Unlike in larger care facilities where the caregiver-to-client ratio can be overwhelming, home care allows for one-on-one relationships to flourish. This means caregivers like Jeanette can provide more focused, compassionate care, tailoring their services to the specific needs and preferences of each client.
Home care supports the emotional well-being of clients by allowing them to remain in a familiar environment, surrounded by memories and loved ones. For your loved ones, this can be an essential factor in maintaining mental health and overall happiness. As we look to the future, the demand for high-quality, personalized home care will only continue to grow.
Jeanette’s nomination is not just a personal achievement—it’s a powerful reflection of her exceptional dedication and the profound impact caregivers have on the lives of those they serve. This recognition shows the importance of the compassionate, hands-on work she performs daily, and it shines a light on the vital role caregivers like Jeanette play in the lives of seniors and individuals with disabilities. As caregiving continues to evolve in response to the growing need for personalized home care, Jeanette stands as a shining example of the heart and commitment that will drive the future of senior living. Her work is a reminder that caregivers are not just providing services—they are offering dignity, comfort, and companionship to the people who need it most.
We eagerly await the announcement of the top 10 finalists and extend our heartfelt congratulations to Jeanette for her well-deserved nomination. Whether or not she wins the national title, her work has already made a lasting impact on her clients and Kore Cares.
