PHI and the National Alliance for Caregiving, at NAC’s inaugural CaregiverNation Summit on October 25th, launched a multi-year initiative, Together in Care, to strengthen the relationship between direct care workers and family caregivers. Funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation, this 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.
The direct care worker and family caregiver initiative will increase awareness of the challenges direct care workers and family caregivers face as partners in delivering care – and advocate for solutions that support this relationship. The partnership will focus on the following areas: 1) promoting care integration; 2) expanding access to consumer direction; 3) strengthening matching services; and 4) investing in research.
