Home Care Highlighted During State of the Union

President Joe Biden highlighted the value of homecare during his State of the Union Address last week and, in his statement, said, “Imagine a future with paid leave because no one should have to choose between working and taking care of yourself or a sick family member. Imagine a future with home care and elder care so seniors and people living with disabilities can stay in their homes and family caregivers get paid what they deserve! Tonight, let’s all agree once again to stand up for seniors!”

"President Biden highlighted the critical importance of home care in his State of the Union Address,” said HCAOA CEO Jason Lee. “HCAOA appreciates his recognition of the essential role that home care plays in supporting older adults, Veterans, and individuals with disabilities to live with dignity in their homes.

"The expansion of access to quality home care services aligns with HCAOA's mission to advocate for policies that enhance the delivery of home care and support caregivers nationwide. We look forward to continuing our work with the administration and policymakers to ensure every individual in need receives the high-quality care they deserve in the comfort of their homes."
