No matter what the outcome of the 2016 presidential election is, caregiver advocates will continue to push for greater support and recognition. A recent report called family caregiving a “critical issue of public policy.” This is an exciting and frustrating time for me.
That’s because there are so many issues to address when it comes to improving the lives of caregivers and those who they care for. Caregivers, both professional and family, are starting to make their voices heard. Tired of being taken for granted by family and under appreciated by society, caregivers are seeking recognition through legislation.
