This #NationalCaregiversDay, we honor the 63M+ #familycaregivers caring for family members around the clock. Most are unpaid. Many face financial strain. Their health often suffers. Yet they keep showing up. Explore the full Caregiving in the US report: caregivingintheus.org
Today, the senate voted to reshape American healthcare as we know it, advancing deep #Medicaid cuts that will make life harder for millions of family caregivers. Read @NA4Caregiving's statement here: caregiving.org/senate-budget-… The fight isn't over. Call your members of congress and urge them to reject these cuts!
Family caregivers are the backbone of our nation's long-term care system, 4+ million rely on #Medicaid for their own healthcare coverage. The OBBB would decimate their safety net.
When your aging parent needs medication, you don't "get over it." When your disabled child needs an aid, you don't "get over it." When you're choosing between rent and medical bills, you don't "get over it" ... we don't get over our need for care. #CareCantWait #ProtectMedicaid
ICYMI The fight goes to the Senate where we will make it clear. #NoCutsToMedicaid
Check out this powerful @ABC piece following care advocates at @NA4Caregiving 's #CaregiverNation Summit as they champion support for family caregivers. It's a powerful reminder of the stakes of today's #Medicaid debate abcnews.go.com/US/invisible-c… #SaveMedicaid #CareCantWait
In her new Forefront article, @AlisonBarkoff from @MilkenInstitute argues that, as the new Congress and administration are beginning to put forward proposals, it is critical to highlight the impact on caregivers and the people they support, and it is equally important to elevate their voices and stories with policy makers. healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/for…
We are deeply disappointed that the Older Americans Act and so many other key care provisions were left out of this deal. Caregiving is our common ground and it’s a shame when political theatrics overshadows that reality. #CaregiverNation
@virginiafoxx, family caregivers in North Carolina need your support on S.4776 (OAA Reauthorization). We provide $600B in unpaid care & need your vote! The bill: • Extends RAISE Act • Funds vital services • Helps 800k+ caregivers #OlderAmericansAct
Half of #caregivers are lonely, double the U.S. rate. Isolation makes stress, guilt, resentment, anxiety, money worries even harder to bear. It alters the brain, turning difficulty into despair. @kmappert @FriendsTerm @NCSICoalition npr.org/sections/shots…
@VP to announce plan for Medicare #homecare benefit. Plan would cover services like an in-home aide, aiming to allow families to avoid the high cost of sending older relatives to live in senior facilities. @ahhcnc #caregivers @kmappert @friendsterm buff.ly/3XU6bZv
#disabilities #caregivers @kmappert @FriendsTerm
Disasters can be traumatic for individuals, families and communities. If you or someone you know is living with a disability, it's important to know how to find disaster resources. Visit: • Bit.ly/ReadyNCDisabil… • Rdcrss.org/42KwumV • Ready.gov/Caregivers #ReadyNC
@wsj: About 80% of Americans want to age at home. Family members put their lives on hold to care for relatives, suffering sleep deprivation and constant worry, plus draining savings. #caregivers @kmappert @aarpnc #familycaregivers (Gift article) buff.ly/3TjFVpX
As usual @aijenpoo clearly explains what’s at stake for #Caregivers #CareWorkers #Seniors and #Disabled people. In order to lower costs for American families, there’s no better investment than #TheCareEconomy
This is a powerful moment in the movement for a better care system for all of us. #ICYMI, our @aijenpoo joined @ABCGMA3 this morning to tell America why #CareCantWait. #CareOnTour
Kicking off #LaborDayWeekend celebrating that CARE makes all work possible! 🫧🍭🚌 Thank you to @CaringAcrossGen @aijenpoo #CareOnTour for stopping in Apex, NC to hear from our care champs @RepWileyNickel @JessicaforNC @juliefornc @mayorjacques @AllenBuansi @nicole4apex @rep_rosa_gill @mikewoodward @reneeprice4nc @cervanianc @seiu @ncjustice @justeconomicsnc & more!
As we celebrate Labor Day, let's remember the Caregiving Youth whose tireless work often goes unrecognized. Their dedication to caring for their families is a true Labor of Love, providing invaluable support and reducing the need for paid caregiving services. Despite the challenges they face, Caregiving Youth make significant contributions to the caregiving economy in the U.S. Let's continue to advocate for greater support and resources to ensure their well-being and success. ❤️ #CaregivingYouth #LaborDay
This #LaborDay, let's recognize family caregivers: the $600 billion workforce we rarely see. They're the backbone of our healthcare system & economy yet often struggle to put food on the table. It's time we better support our #caregivernation!
Midlife, not your 70s or 80s, is when brain changes start to occur that can pave the way toward dementia, according to a growing body of research. Intervening earlier to improve brain health might help you stay sharper as you age. on.wsj.com/478JdSp
Study: One in five #caregivers to elders is over 65 and may face their own health and social challenges. They need help from community health workers, direct payments for their care work, and making respite services available. @@friendsterm @kmappert buff.ly/4dZzUGM
Tomorrow (Friday, August 30), the #CareCantWait Bus Tour will be in Pleasant Park in Apex, NC at 10:00 am. The event will be highlighting the urgent need for affordable, accessible care and showing how it impacts everyone. #CareOnTour #CareCantWait
We can’t wait for you to join us at one of our #CareonTour stops! Care isn’t a moment, it's a movement. We’re eager to travel across the country and come together with partner organizations, caregivers, and care advocates to show how care connects us all. caringacross.org/care-on-tour/
