Three powerful public policy articles on caregiving that you should know about:
Suzanne Mintz | Center for Consumer & Patient Engagement
"Family caregivers are acknowledged as the nation's primary providers of long-term care, but they are not equally acknowledged as primary providers of their loved one's non-acute healthcare needs."
Joanne Lynn | Health Affairs
"Suzanne Mintz's memorable Narrative Matters essay in the September issue of Health Affairs calls for attention to and support for family caregivers, and puts many important policy and practice improvements on the policy table. But the piece stops just a step short of giving voice to the fury that is needed to mobilize change. Why are family caregivers so polite?"
Lynn Friss Feinberg | AARP Blog - Thinking Policy
"ADS are a good example of person- and family-centered care: Their mission is to provide supportive services for the "unit of care" - comprising adults with functional limitations and their family caregivers."
