Caregiving Legislation Pending In Washington
Today 1 out of every 5 Americans is a family caregiver.
Right now Congress is rewriting policies and voting on legislation that will impact the healthcare and caregiving you may get or can afford give.
The legislation will impact you in many ways as you age.
• It will impact you as a caregiver for an older adult you love - in terms of the emotional decisions you can make
• It will impact your and your family - in terms of what you can afford to do for yourself or your loved one as needs change
• It will also impact you as a working caregiver and help protect you against discrimination in the workplace.
