Our Services
Volunteer and Charity Work
The entire staff of the American Caregiver Association (ACA) is made up of experienced volunteers that have worked in every facet of the caregiver industry. As such, the ACA makes it our top priority to volunteer in the community in helping our seniors with the struggles and challenges that they face. Much of our work involves charity events and fund raising efforts to support the work that the ACA is doing to improve the quality of life for our aging community. It is our honor to serve those who hearts and minds came before us, and it is an equally great honor to be thanked by those that we try to help on our way toward the accomplishment of the Mission and Vision of the ACA.
Promotion of the Caregiver Profession
An important part of the American Caregiver Association's role as the national caregiver certifying organization is to support caregivers and the profession of caregiving by helping to promote the importance of the job of caregiving. Another role that the American Caregiver Association plays as the leading caregiver association in the United States and around the globe, is in raising the bar in terms of professionalizing the field of caregiving. One way we do this is by being the first and only organization to offer national caregiver certification. Both roles help bring awareness to caregiver issues as well those issues involving our seniors, which is where the focus should be.
