Who Cares for the Caregivers? America's Caregiving Crisis
From Code WACK! · 11:46
Show by HEAL California
THIS TIME ON CODE WACK! This November, during National Family Caregivers Month, we're recognizing the millions of Americans caring for aging parents, spouses, children with disabilities, and other loved ones. Why aren't systems in place to provide care for our children and aging adults? Who will fill in the gaps in our healthcare system? And what is the financial and personal toll on families who find themselves with nowhere to turn for help? Joining us today is Nicole Jorwic, chief program officer for Caring Across Generations, a national organization bringing together family caregivers, care workers, people with disabilities, and aging adults to transform the way we care in this country.
