💬 "Caregiving is one of the most important—and most overlooked—roles in our society."

PBS's documentary "Caregiving" takes a powerful look at the emotional, financial, and everyday realities faced by caregivers across the country.

At LKiChoice, we believe in honoring and empowering caregivers through self-directed care—a model that gives families the ability to choose their own support systems.

🎥 Watch the film. Share your story. And learn how self-direction can help you take control of your care journey.
