50th Annual Home Care Aide Celebration - November 16, 2023

On Thursday, November 16^th, the Home Care Aide Council held its 50^th Annual Home Care Aide Celebration at the Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy.

The event is held annually to celebrate the dedication and commitment of home care aides throughout the Commonwealth whose work enables so many frail elders and disabled individuals to remain in their own homes.

Through seven awards, we recognized the commitment and excellence of home care aides and their allies in support of Massachusetts’ older adults. Bringing attention to this important workforce, while also highlighting those who have achieved excellence in their field, is at the heart of this annual event. Council members nominate the individuals who are recognized at the event.
