Francis Rivera & Olga Fuentes

"My name is Francis Rivera. I am thankful that Olga has been able to help me with my daily needs for the past three years. If she couldn't provide care, I'd need an organized way to find someone I was compatible with, and competitive wages, so attendants would stay longer. That is why I support building the Consumer Workforce Council."

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!

"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."
