“All of us are gonna be caregivers, and we're also all gonna be care receivers” 💯 We caught up with “Take Me Home” actress Ali Ahn who shared her connection to care and why she knew she needed to do the film. “Take Me Home” is now playing in theaters!

As states cut home care, more people could be forced into nursing homes. Protecting and expanding Medicaid is how we help people age in place with care and dignity. marketplace.org/story/2026/0…

Hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. are waiting for child care assistance they qualify for, leaving parents to choose between work and their children’s care. No one should have to make that decision. We need greater investments in child care. apnews.com/article/childcare…

Today, roughly one in four American adults is a family caregiver, and nearly all of us will give (or need) care at some point in our lives. Thank you to everyone who gives care. Drop a 🫶 below if you’ve cared for someone, or 🤲 if someone has cared for you!

Millions of people show up for care every day — increasingly as friends and neighbors, not just family. But FMLA doesn’t protect their job if they take leave to do it. Every kind of care deserves support, no matter the relationship. kffhealthnews.org/aging/new-…

On #InternationalDayofOlderPersons, we’re reminded that everyone deserves to live and age with dignity, choice, and independence. We need a care system that supports all of us to live and age where and how we choose.

Child care now costs more than $13,000 a year on average. Grandparents are increasingly stepping in to help, but not every family has that option. We need real investment in a child care infrastructure that works for everyone. npr.org/2026/09/20/nx-s1-596…

Come for the Practical Magic, stay for the practical care. ✨ Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman have been getting candid about caregiving, asking for help, and why caregivers need support, too. Looks like this press tour is having a few care conversations of its own. 👀

Accessing the care you need shouldn’t depend on navigating a maze of paperwork and eligibility rules. Our care systems should make it easier for people to get the support they need, not put more barriers in their way. npr.org/2026/09/12/nx-s1-596…

No one should have to choose between their job and their care. But upcoming Medicaid work requirements could force many disabled people to make this tough choice. We need a care system that lets everyone work and access care without penalty. npr.org/2026/08/10/nx-s1-591…
