We still don't have any cohesive national plan for caregivers. Especially during the continuing pandemic, we have seen an abandonment of those in need in a way, we have never seen in U.S. history. We have seen abandonment even of those in LTC facilities. We have seen those actually trusted to care for vulnerable in LTC facilities refuse to get COVID19 vaccines, and so vulnerable get sick and too many die. My own wife was in a rehab facility in January when she was infected with COVID19. We need a new coalition of caregivers and those in need to help one another, because I simply don't see it coming from our shared governments. I also think we need to reassess how male caregivers are treated, as too often they are looked at as second-class caregivers, with suspicion and even disrespect.
I am so sorry bout your wife, Jeffrey. The heartbreaking situations are too many to count. We’re putting together coalitions to advocate for better support for family caregivers. Our petition is the first step: https://www.change.org/caring-act
