National Caregiver Day 2025: We're by your side
April 1, 2025 is National Caregiver Day in Canada - a day to recognize the caregivers who provide vital support to aging parents, spouses, friends, and family.
Whether you're helping a parent with dementia, supporting a spouse through illness, or coordinating care for a grandparent, your work matters. Unpaid caregivers keep our healthcare system afloat in Ontario and across the country. Without their energy, love, and sacrifice our healthcare system simply wouldn't function.
Support for Caregivers in Ontario
At Elderado, we work every day to make elder care easier to navigate. That includes supporting the people who provide care - often without pay, training, or time to rest.
Caregiving is always going to be hard. But there's things things we can fix - and that's what we're trying to do. We believe it should be straightforward for families to be able to nagivate and compare elder care options, and be confident they found the best care for their care needs, preferences, and budget.

Why National Caregiver Day Matters
In Canada, millions of people are unpaid caregivers - supporting loved ones through aging, illness, or disability. But so much if this work is invisible, and undervalued.
- Over 1 in 4 Canadians aged 15+ provide unpaid care to a family member or friend.
- Many caregivers juggle full-time jobs, parenting, and caregiving responsibilities.
- Caregiving is emotionally and physically demanding, with real impacts on mental health.
Today is about more than gratitude - it's about visibility, recognition, and change.
