Thank you, Mr. Shore! We can and must learn. The communities and members we serve are counting on us.

Wisconsin needs to define what #MemoryCare means, so consumers can make informed choices about where and how they will receive care.

What to know about dementia and memory care facilities in Wisconsin: cost, services and more https://t.co/676Sc05alK via @journalsentinel

A recent survey by @pivotalventures & @BPCAction found that 82% of voters say political candidates and policymakers should make caregiving an important or top priority. It's time for elected officials to invest in proven solutions to support our #CaregiverNation.

On this #TaxDay I am thinking of the caregivers across the U.S. who spend thousands of dollars out-of-pocket providing unpaid care and could greatly benefit from some financial relief via a caregiver tax credit. #CreditForCaring #CaregiverNation #TaxDay2024

[Janet Zander @ZanderWAAN]

@ToniGing @NA4Caregiving Yes! Thank you @ToniGing

“There are only four kinds of people in the world — those that have been caregivers, those that are caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.” - Rosalynn Carter

Your legacy will live on, Mrs. Carter. Rest in peace.

We need to give #familycaregivers a seat at the policy making table. Without them, the system collapses.

[Wisconsin Examiner || @wiexaminer.bsky.social @WIExaminer]

Advocates want a stronger role for family caregivers when patients leave the hospital. @aarpwi & @ZanderWAAN say too many family members are left in the dark. @WIHospitalAssn says it's just more red tape and not necessary. @erikgunn has details.
