Alternative Senior Care announced today that Laura Lepowsky was nominated for the Home Care Association of America (HCAOA) 2023 Caregiver of the Year Award. Laura, an exceptional caregiver, stands among the top 500 home caregivers nominated by home care agencies nationwide.
This year’s HCAOA Caregiver of the Year Award set a new record, with a remarkable 150% increase in nominations over the past four years. This year’s record-breaking number of nominations received by HCAOA reflects a resounding commitment to recognize and celebrate the unwavering dedication of caregivers in their tireless efforts to provide compassionate care to their clients.
