PHI and NAC: Direct Care Worker and Family Caregiver Initiative - Together in Care
PHI and the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) have launched a new joint multi-year collaboration, The Direct Care Worker and Family Caregiver Initiative: Together in Care.
Together, direct care workers and family caregivers provide essential support to millions of older adults and people with disabilities. The initiative will increase awareness of the challenges direct care workers and family caregivers face as partners in providing care - and advocate for solutions that support this relationship.
This collaboration is focusing on four key policy areas to support direct care workers and family caregivers:
- Promoting Care Integration
- Expanding Access to Consumer Direction
- Strengthening Matching Service Registries
- Investing In Research
The initiative will draw attention to the policy barriers, research needs, and workforce interventions that can elevate the bond between these caregivers, creating a more sustainable long-term care system.
