Today we’re celebrating the first anniversary of the Biden-Harris Executive Order on Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers! Coupled with the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers, we’re excited to see momentum continue to grow in support of America’s 53 million family caregivers! #CaregiverNation #Caregiving #Policy

4moI have never heard of these programs. $20 million dollars for strategies?!! My goodness, just ask us the 24-7 family caregiver about strategies! For $20 million dollars, we'll tell you what to do! We read about plans and actions, but where is the actual funding $$ for family caregivers and what entities are putting up all the money? Corporations, pharmaceutical companies, grants, tax dollars? It's one thing to throw tax dollars at initiatives which educate direct care workers, but it is another thing to actually pay family caregivers a salary. We are saving the government billions of dollars every year as unpaid family caregivers. So, as a family caregiver, how do we access all this funding? Since most of us cannot work outside the home, are you saying there are funds available to us caregivers, that are not Medicaid bound with limits to our loved ones income? 24-7 in home care through an agency will cost you over $100,000 per year. That would be a lovely salary for any family caregiver. Where do we apply? #PaidFamilyCaregivers
