HCAOA Advocacy Win: Establishing Ongoing, Positive Communication with the Veterans Administration

Prior to the concerted effort of our HCAOA Veterans Advisory Council, chaired by Doug Robertson, HCAOA members regularly had frustrating issues with the VA. With the dedicated work of the Council on behalf of our membership, the relationship with the VA has grown and created a trusted relationship. This is evidenced in the recent double in the duration of authorization time from 180 days to 365 days and the increased number of providers in the HCAOA VA Community Care Network.
 
Efforts like these are successful in part due to the HCAOA Advocacy Fund. Please consider using your end of the year giving to donate to the HCAOA Advocacy Fund.

HCAOA Caregiver of the Year Finds Her Calling

HCAOA Board of Directors President Emma Dickison (L) and AAG's Gabrielle Welter (R) present the 2022 Caregiver of the Year award to Katrice Turner of Absolute Companion Care (center).
Katrice Turner was not intent on following her mother’s footsteps into home care. But after being let go from a clerical administration job in 2009, she took some temporary work as a caregiver with the home care agency that employed her mother. Little did she know that Mother knew best. 

“It’s not something I actually planned on doing. It just kind of happened that way. My mom, she knew that,” Turner, told McKnight’s Home Care Daily Pulse. “She knew the qualities that I had, and she told me, ‘you’ll be fine, trust me.’”

​Thirteen years later, Turner is still working in home care. Most recently, her work has earned her the 
Home Care Association of America’s 2022 Caregiver of the Year.
