Please take a moment to watch Shona Eakin's powerful interview with WENY-TV https://lnkd.in/ep79b-7i Over 400 Home Care advocates rallied in Harrisburg this past week, demanding fair wages for the dedicated individuals who provide essential home care services in Pennsylvania. With current average wages falling behind neighboring states, the time to act is now. Let's urge our legislators and Governor Josh Shapiro to prioritize fair compensation for ALL home care workers, ensuring quality care for those who need it most.

"The joy that comes with the opportunities to increase and maintain the quality of others' lives cannot be measured monetarily, but joy doesn't pay the bills," says Destiny. Destiny has been a home health aide for almost a decade, but she shares that "the money that I make doesn't even allow for me to provide housing for my kids and myself." There are currently more than 400,000+ Pennsylvanians relying on in-home care services. If direct care workers are unable to make enough money to support themselves and their families, how can they be expected to care for Pennsylvania's vulnerable residents? Help us secure the increased funding that direct care workers and nurses deserve. Take action today: https://lnkd.in/euSPdtV2

Pennsylvania’s caregivers are stretched thin and the need is growing. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial board is right: Gov. Josh Shapiro must prioritize Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services funding for homecare in this year’s budget. Lives depend on it. #FundTheFrontLines Read the article: https://lnkd.in/eaKKBzHH

“Home is healing. Home is dignity. Home is where progress happens.” Heather Fotopoulos, JEVS Care at Home, has seen it all. Children finally sleeping in their own beds after months in the hospital, stroke survivors learning to walk and talk again, and families finding peace in the comfort of familiar surroundings. Every case is unique, like snowflakes or stars in the sky but what ties them all together is the life-changing impact of home care. Home care isn’t just a service—it’s hope. It’s connection. It’s advocacy for those who are often too vulnerable to speak for themselves. As Heather reminds us: We must be the hope and the advocate, not just for our clients, but for the entire home care system. Watch Heather’s story and join us in the movement to protect and preserve home care. 🎥 : https://lnkd.in/emv6GfiP #FundTheFrontLines so our caregivers can continue showing up, changing lives, and bringing healing home.

Yesterday at the Capitol, our CEO Mia Haney delivered a powerful, urgent message to lawmakers: It’s time to fund the front lines. Her voice, backed by hundreds of caregivers, nurses, patients, and advocates, echoed through the Rotunda as we called on the Office of Governor Josh Shapiro and General Assembly to take bold action, not next year, now. We are so grateful for Mia’s leadership and her unwavering commitment to the direct care workforce and the 400,000+ Pennsylvanians who rely on care at home. To every advocate who joined us yesterday: thank you. Your stories, your courage, and your dedication are what make this movement strong. Together, we showed lawmakers what’s at stake and that we won’t back down. 📢 It’s time to raise reimbursement rates, invest in our workforce, and protect access to in-home care across the Commonwealth. 🎥 Watch Mia’s remarks at the Capitol: https://bit.ly/4j4meNP #FundTheFrontLines #HomeCareWorks #BringingCareHome

Pennsylvania Homecare Association’s Advocacy day 2025 was record breaking and truly inspiring! 400 home care champions visited with legislators and urged lawmakers to fund the frontlines of care… the deserving workforce of nurses and direct care workers. Honored, humbled, inspired… I walked away from the day feeling energized and ready to fight for what is right. These funds are about protecting people - preventing poor health outcomes - giving competitive wages and rewarding careers. It’s securing the foundation of our communities - The care that happens in the comfort of home and in our communities.
