The Women Working To Solve The Home Health Caregiver Crisis @ForbesWomen @Forbes https://t.co/kS7xEVfGJR Thanks @AmySho for highlighting these issues and the research that me and my colleague, @MeganJShenPhD, are doing to try to tackle them. #HomeCare #PatientCare #Caregivers

[The Century Foundation @TCFdotorg]

Using investments from the ARPA, states were able to provide child care for thousands of families, increase pay for home care workers, advance progress and inclusive family and medical leave, and much more.

Time to make these investments permanent.

Wouldn't it be great to have a program that covers #LTSS for nearly everyone?

My latest report for @MITCoLab provides guidance for stakeholders exploring how to structure a new LTSS social insurance program.

"It’s tempting to see Marcus and his mother as a sad, isolated story, a patch of bad luck that could befall anyone, but won’t befall most. But caring for a family member with a long-term illness or disability is neither rare nor exceptional." #caregiving

As the year winds down, I am reflecting on pieces I've written. One piece that seems to have resonated with readers is "The Cycle of Care: How Generational Caregiving Disproportionately Impacts Black Women" written for @ASAging's Generations in August.

BREAKING: @GovKathyHochul signed statewide salary transparency law requiring employers w/ 4 or more employees to disclose pay range in job postings! TX to bill sponsors and champions @Senator@jessicaramos AM@JoinJoyner @LegalMomentum @CWALocal1180 @NELA_NewYork @_JohnTOMalley

[Allison Cook @AllisonCookNY]

A huge thank you to @rontkim, @electnikkilucas, and others on the NYS Assembly Committee on Aging for inviting my testimony earlier this week. It's time to create a better way to pay for #LTSS in New York! @NYSA_Majority @GrayPanthersNY @AARPNY

"Because the nation’s roughly 28,900 assisted living communities are regulated by states & there are no federal standards, practices vary widely and generally there are fewer protections for residents than are found in nursing homes." #LTSS #aging @KHNews https://t.co/gZqgudNWNS

[Alice Burns @alicelevyburns]

In response to worsening shortages of HCBS workers, nearly all states increased their payment rates, but many increases are time-limited. We examined these issues in our 20th survey of Medicaid HCBS programs in all 50 states and DC. https://t.co/MpLblPUYQC

Native women are paid just 60¢ for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men—that’s $24,000 less per year #NativeWomensEqualPay

[Allison Cook @AllisonCookNY]

Excited that @GovKathyHochul signed an executive order today to create a Master Plan for Aging! #aging #olderadults #LTC #OlderNewYorkersDay https://t.co/hPzVqEOmru
