In Our Own Words

"I have emphysema and I need care, but a nursing home shouldn't be my only option.  My father built my house decades ago, and I am proud and determined to stay living in my house as long as possible.  That is why we need a Consumer Workforce Council -- because nobody should feel forced to leave their home."

Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!

 

A Consumer Workforce Council will expand home care options for seniors and people with disabilities -- while improving wages and providing health benefits for the direct care attendants who serve them.

Tell our Legislators and Governor Rendell:  It's Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!

"When John had a life-changing accident, I knew it was my responsibility to make sure he had the support he needed to stay independent.  But when I had a gastric ulcer, I didn't have the medical insurance to make sure it was taken care of.  While I was in the hospital, John's independence was at risk.  We need the Consumer Workforce Council to support home care consumers like John, and workers like me, statewide."
