"I am a 73 year old man taking care of my wife, who suffers from severe arthritis. I don't want my wife to end up in a nursing home, but the way the system is, she might have to. Pennsylvania should set up a registry of qualified workers, where I can recruit my own worker to come in and help. Family caregivers like me need relief."

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.

"My name is Tiffany Chase and I am an attendant for my aunt, and I'm in school. When my aunt went into the hospital, my salary completely stopped. I enjoy my job, but this is not the first time I have been in this situation, and I am sure it will not be the last. If there was a system where I could be of use to another consumer while my main consumer was away, it would solve my financial dilemma and I could continue on with my education. This is why I am asking you to support the Consumer Workforce Council."
