This is why Advocacy Day matters.

Behind every policy decision are real people.
Real families.
Real caregivers.
Real impacts.

As Pennsylvania’s legislative budget process begins, home-based care must have a seat at the table.

On March 24, 2026, providers, caregivers, nurses, participants, and families from across the Commonwealth will gather in Harrisburg to speak directly with legislators about:
• Workforce shortages
• Access to care
• The impact of chronic underfunding

Showing up has always been how we move the needle. And this year is no different.

Let’s come together to champion the future of home care and private duty nursing. Your voice is essential!

Home care was left out of Governor Shapiro's proposed 2026–27 budget… Again…

We are deeply disappointed.

While this is a proposed budget - the final budget will be announced this summer - this was the Governor's opportunity to make home care a priority.

The decision to leave us out has real consequences.

Pennsylvania’s care system is failing families in real time. Every month, more than 112,500 shifts for seniors go unfilled, and nearly one-third of nursing hours for medically fragile children are missed. Behind these numbers are families waiting - often desperately - for care that never arrives because Medicaid rates are too low to sustain a workforce.

As the legislative process moves forward, lawmakers will decide whether families receive the care they need—or continue to be left waiting. We urge the legislature to listen to what is happening on the ground and take meaningful action to protect our communities.

PHA will keep fighting for home care and the workforce that makes it possible. This is the moment when advocacy matters most.

We urge members to take action and email your lawmakers today: https://homecareworks.pahomecare.org/

This is how you deepen the in-home care crisis in PA. The new state budget abandons 94% of Pennsylvania’s home care workers — and the seniors, children, and people with disabilities who rely on them every day.

“This is not leadership. It’s abandonment,” said Pennsylvania Homecare Association CEO Mia Haney.

Every month, more than 112,500 care shifts go unfilled, and one in four authorized nursing hours never takes place. Lawmakers had two independent, taxpayer-funded studies showing the clear path forward: invest in home care now or face higher costs from hospitalizations and nursing home placements later.

Instead, they funded just 6% of the workforce, ignoring the rest. The result? More families left alone to care for loved ones without help.

It’s time to fix this in the 2026–27 budget — before the system collapses completely.

The Senate and Governor have the power to act — and ensure no home care caregiver gets left behind.

Pennsylvania’s home care system is in crisis. Caregivers are walking away because wages can’t compete. Families are waiting weeks or months for help. Seniors and people with disabilities are at risk.

All caregivers deserve a rate increase. When we fund the frontlines, we protect care, strengthen communities, and save lives.

➡️ Tell your Senator: Support every caregiver. Fund Home Care.
