Givers

Pennsylvania is leading the way in Medicaid accountability, and that’s good news for families and caregivers who rely on these programs daily. At Givers, trust and transparency aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re the foundation for programs families can count on. ?#Medicaid #FamilyCaregiving #HealthcarePolicy Valerie Arkoosh, MD, MPH Josh Shapiro Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General

Caregiving is a key challenge facing our population today. Family members continue to be there for their loved ones, but not without cost. At Givers, we bring family caregivers from confused & stressed to empowered & at ease. Impact and integrity are at the center of everything we do. Thank you to the?AgeTech Collaborative? from AARP?for capturing our story!

Caregivers often ask Sherri Snelling of Caregiving Club, #6 in the top 100 caregiving podcasts, if they can get paid to care for their loved one—the answer is 'yes' and Givers' Founder Max Mayblum talks about how in the latest episode. https://lnkd.in/e_PTPkTN (starting at 43:51)

I know a conversation is going to be good when it starts off with a discussion about The Alchemist and the role of spirituality in building a company... It was a lot of fun going a level deeper with Brent Macon, chatting about company building, the why behind the support Givers provides to family caregivers, and our favorite Atlanta food (shoutout Falafel King!).

Family caregivers deserve a megaphone. We are proud to advocate for the continued inclusion of caregivers in the expansion of sustainable long term care programs. Givers CEO Max Mayblum wrote an analysis of Vice President Kamala Harris' proposal for Medicare to cover long term care, and why it is important for family caregivers to be included.

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” The current system to care for older adults is broken. Medicare–our federal health insurance system for people over the age of 65–doesn't cover long term care, and only offers sparse support to family caregivers. 54% of healthcare bankruptcies are caused by long term care. The only alternative for millions? Spending down into poverty in order to qualify for Medicaid, which does cover long term care. Pretty untenable. The system has long neglected this issue and the millions of family caregivers that are the safety net holding it together. Like so many in the long term care world, I was enthused last week to see the Harris campaign propose the coverage of home care by Medicare, which covers over 67 million older adults, with roughly 4 million Americans enrolling every year. But yet again, something was missing. Despite framing the proposal as relief for family caregivers, it omitted whether or not family members would actually be able to get paid by Medicare for the work that they do. We put our heads together at Givers to define the future, so we don't repeat our history. #medicareathome #longtermcare #caregivers #caregiving #harris

"Let's say there's a family out there that doesn't want to put mom or dad into a facility or doesn't have a long-term care policy, what are their options?" Eric Jorgensen, founder of Special Needs Navigator, asks Givers' Founder Max Mayblum on the latest episode of the ABCs of Disability Planning podcast. This is an increasingly common question. Not only do 90%+ people want to age in place, but we have the baby boomer generation growing into the 65+ category, the largest acceleration of this population we've ever seen. Behind that, smaller and smaller generations to actually provide the care.?On top of that, we have a labor crisis in the care market and institutional settings are becoming more and more cost prohibitive, so the trend that Givers’ sees is that family caregiving is the only tenable solution.
