📣 URGENT: Pennsylvania’s Budget Overlooked Home Care — Again.
🎬 And This Documentary Shows Exactly Why It Matters.

Pennsylvania’s new budget may have passed, but it severely overlooked the caregiving workforce that keeps seniors safe at home.

👉 94% of home care workers received NO wage increase.
👉 Only participant-directed caregivers (about 6% of the workforce) received the $21M wage boost.
👉 Meanwhile, over 112,500 home care shifts go unfilled every month because wages are too low to recruit and keep caregivers.
👉 Pennsylvania still reimburses agencies only $20.63/hour — far below surrounding states like West Virginia.

This is why families struggle to find care.
This is why caregivers are burning out.
This is why agencies are fighting to stay open.

And now a powerful PBS documentary — produced by Bradley Cooper, who knows this crisis personally — shines a light on what’s truly happening behind closed doors.

🎬 Watch “Caregiving” FREE on PBS:
👉 https://www.pbs.org/video/caregiving/

This film exposes the heartbreaking reality of caregiving: the love, the exhaustion, the sacrifice, and the broken systems that constantly fail both caregivers and families.

Our caregivers are heroes. They deserve better — and so do the communities they serve.

📣 After you watch, take action:
🗣 Tag Governor Shapiro
📍 Tag your local legislators
✍️ Tell them Pennsylvania MUST invest in home care.
The longer we wait, the more people go without essential care.

We couldn’t agree more—our caregivers are the heart of our communities, providing compassionate care every single day. 💙 But as the Lt. Governor said, words alone aren’t enough. It’s time for real support and funding for the heroes who give so much of themselves.

At todays Direct Care Worker of the Year Awards the Lt. Governor Austin Davis shared a video message to Pennsylvania’s caregivers: “Direct care workers are extraordinary. They are the unsung heroes of our Commonwealth.”

PHA agrees, Lt. Governor. But words alone do not pay the bills. 94% of Pennsylvania’s caregivers were left out of this year’s budget. It's time to honor these Direct Care Workers work with funding that matches your words.

🕰️ As the days get shorter, some people living with Alzheimer’s or dementia may feel more restless or confused in the evening — a change often called Sundowning Syndrome. 💜

Here are a few simple ways to help calm those evenings:
☀️ Keep a consistent routine
💡 Let in natural light during the day
🍵 Limit caffeine and sugar later on
🎶 Create a peaceful space with soft light and quiet activities

Even small changes can make a big difference. Together, we bring calm and comfort — one evening at a time. 💛

⏰ Don’t forget — tonight we “fall back”! 🍂
Daylight Saving Time ends, so be sure to set your clocks back one hour before bed. 🕰️

It’s also a great time to:
✔️ Check smoke detector batteries
✔️ Revisit medication times for loved ones
✔️ Encourage a cozy, restful night’s sleep

Enjoy that extra hour, caregivers — you’ve earned it! 💛
