I teamed up with @govmlg.bsky.social to spotlight the vital role #Medicaid plays in supporting family caregivers. We urge the senate to reject deep cuts to the program. Check out our piece in @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/heal... #ProtectMedicaid #CareCantWait #CaregiverNation

I joined @usatoday.com's The Excerpt to talk about men, caregiving, & the importance of policies like #Medicaid, paid leave, & #Medicare to supporting family caregivers. Listen here: art19.com/shows/5-thin... #caregiving #CareCantWait #CaregiverNation
With the number of people living w/ dementia expected to double by 2060, cuts to #Medicaid would decimate what little infrastructure we have to support dementia caregivers. My latest for the @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/o... #CareCantWait #CaregiverNation #Dementia
Some CR care news: The CR includes (1) the Older Americans Act / National Family Caregiver Support Program w/ an extension of Nat'l Strategy for Family Caregivers through 2029 (2) A demonstration program to expand HCBS coverage under 1915 c waivers. punchbowl.news/cr-4/ #CaregiverNation
The Senate's passage of the Older Americans Act reaffirms our commitment to older adults & their dedicated family caregivers. Thank you to all senate champions, staff, and advocates who made this possible. 🎉🎉🎉 Now, on to the House! 💪🏽

29 years ago, I learned that my beautiful baby girl has Rett Syndrome. I don’t often reflect back, but when I do, wow, it’s been a lot! Oftentimes the line between Mom and caregiver is blurred but the pure love and joy overlaps them both. 💜#caregiving #RettSyndrome #CaregiverNation
Here to talk about the contributions of America’s 53 million unpaid family caregivers & the policies they need like #paidleave.
I’ll probably share pics of my adorbs son too 🥰 #caregiving #caregivernation
