Last week, @karavanderpool2 shared her moments of stress when she couldn’t get the help her grandmother needs.
She shares an update with me today: youtu.be/FRFxdw7Nauk

How many of the 53 million can get a break?
We need pandemic-proof respite programs.

Our tradition respite programs offered through Medicaid waiver programs, Title III and hospice had to pause because of the pandemic.
@SenatorDurbin and @SenDuckworth We need pandemic-proof respite programs. /1
Today was a disaster in my #eldercare world, and many had it even worse. Our system is broken @DeniseMBrown3 is working to help. #infastructure @timkaine @MarkWarner youtu.be/qx7atRW2FRY
THANK YOU @BrigidSchulte for this piece! Ironically I just saw it today because I was taking time off work to care for my LO in the hospital. We need more pieces that shine light on this topic!
It’s unconscionable that in the US, time to care for dying loved ones is a luxury few can afford. I was lucky. We shouldn’t leave it to luck and privilege - my latest in @washingtonpost @BetterLifeLab #paidleave washingtonpost.com/outlook/d…
Thank you @melindagates for mentioning #eldercare as part of caregiving and gender inequality with @SavannahGuthrie! We need more of that kind of conversation!
As 1 of 44 million woman providing #eldercare for a family member, keeping seniors out of hospitals and nursing homes especially during the #pandemic why are WE not also early candidates for the @vaccine? @cdc @SenatorCollins @SenatorCasey
Thank Kathy for helping me shine a light on #eldercare and career!
Thanks to @karavanderpool2 for her inspiring story of the ultimate “bend and snap”: Caregiving to multiple generations, brilliantly managing a career, and learning to laugh along the way. #workingdaughtersday #caregivers #wcw #workingmom #eldercare #WomeninBusiness
Minutes from logging on for the first-ever @workingdaughterday event. Why? Because 44 million women provide $470 billion in unpaid care - often while working full time and raising kids. @WDtweeting
"..this is not about supporting one group of workers over another. This is a call to stop ignoring a very real issue." #eldercare #callforpolicies #WorkingDaughtersDay bit.ly/3kDzLwA @WDtweeting
23 million women, known as #workingdaughters, in the U.S. are balancing #eldercare, #career, and more providing more than $470 billion in unpaid care! Care advocates @mariashriver and @LeezaGibbons will you help raise awareness for #workingdaughtersday by sharing?
@WDtweeting
There is a #pandemic not talked about - #aging and #familycaregiving and one, the other, or both will happen to you. It's a reality few parts of the world are addressing. Learn more about women balancing #career and #eldercare on #workingdaughtersday 11/17. @WDtweeting
23 million women in the U.S. are balancing #eldercare, #career, and more. The result? Women in this population, known as #workingdaughters, provide $470 billion in unpaid care! Help raise awareness for #workingdaughtersday on 11/17
@WDtweeting
I believe I'm in stage five of the ten-step election result program; obsessively cleaning baseboards. #Election2020
Candidates must also focus on the #family #caregivers when speaking to and about seniors. #bidentownhall #seniorsforbiden #eldercare @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris
Interesting work coming out of @WCCMediateam on the future of telework and homeschool. Wondering if there is also research on the need for continued telework and #eldercare at.virginia.edu/3hFqpPo
