Elevating Elder Care: Kamala Harris's Vision Vice President Kamala Harris is championing a transformative approach to elder care, focusing on economic policies that address the growing financial burdens faced by families. In a recent interview, Harris outlined her plans to expand the Child Tax Credit to $6,000, empowering families to afford essential home health care services. This initiative is a crucial step in supporting the "sandwich generation," who juggle the dual responsibilities of caring for both children and aging parents. Harris emphasizes the dire need for improved compensation for caregivers, recognizing the immense emotional and financial strain involved in providing elder care. As the population ages and the demand for caregiving rises, this focus on fair wages and comprehensive support is essential for sustaining a robust caregiving workforce. By prioritizing elder care within her economic framework, Harris envisions a future where no family is overwhelmed by the costs of caregiving, fostering a society where everyone can thrive.

FAQ Friday: I want my loved one to be able to build a trusting relationship with their care providers. Do you send the same people over and over, or will it be someone new every time? A: For the most part, a dedicated team of familiar faces with a lead CARESULTANT will be overseeing all facets of care for your aging loved one. If a nurse’s aide or other long-term care provider is hired, for example, our goal is to find someone who will stay in the role for a long time. The only exception is when there are short-term medical needs. For example, your loved one might undergo a medical or surgical procedure. That dressing/bandage may need to be changed on a regular basis. A nurse may be hired to make home visits for that care who only works with your loved one until the dressing changes are no longer necessary. But, when it comes to long-term, consistent care, familiar faces are the goal. And there will be a single CARESULTANT assigned to your case, so you don’t have to re-tell your story over and over to a new person every time. You and your aging loved one can both count on long-term relationships with care providers. #Caresultants #HomeCareSolutions #FAQs
