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."
