In Our Own Words

John Joyce

 

"I am a 73 year old man taking care of my wife, who suffers from severe arthritis.  I don't want my wife to end up in a nursing home, but the way the system is, she might have to.  Pennsylvania should set up a registry of qualified workers, where I can recruit my own worker to come in and help.  Family caregivers like me need relief."

Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!

 

A Consumer Workforce Council will expand home care options for seniors and people with disabilities -- while improving wages and providing health benefits for the direct care attendants who serve them.

Tell our Legislators and Governor Rendell:  It's Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!
