Applauding executive actions to support family caregivers and direct care workers

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION EXECUTIVE ACTION TO SUPPORT CARE WORKERS

"Family caregivers play a pivotal but too often unrecognized role in the United States, where many make personal sacrifices to meet the daily needs and preferences of older adults. The Biden-Harris Administration should be commended for investing in caregiving through today’s executive action, which builds on the groundbreaking National Strategy to provide respite care and mental health support to family caregivers and improve working conditions for direct care workers in the home, community, and in our nursing homes. Older adults everywhere deserve reliable, high-quality, age-friendly care delivered in a supportive environment. Today, America takes a big step forward to ensure that federal policies give our careforce the support it needs."
