BROCKTON AND PLYMOUTH, MA… Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the largest provider of in-home and community-based services for older adults and people living with disabilities in Southeastern Massachusetts, is putting the spotlight on caregivers in honor of National Caregiver Month.
According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, the number of Americans providing unpaid care has risen to 53 million. Twenty-six percent of Americans are caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
OCES invites individuals to nominate a Caregiver (family members, friends, associates, and individuals) who has positively impacted their life or someone else’s life within OCES’ service area.
Nominations will be accepted until September 23, 2024. To nominate a caregiver, visit

OCES will be highlighting the nominated caregivers throughout the month of November, which is National Caregiver Month, through their social media channels and a special Caregiver Edition newsletter. If you have any questions, please email OCES at development@ocesma.org.
