American As Apple Pie Hats Off to At Home Care

American As Apple Pie – Hats off to At Home Care

An interesting book is forthcoming from Eileen Boris and Jennifer Klein. It is :

“Caring for America: Home Care Workers Are Changing the Face of American Labor”

Eileen Boris and Jennifer Klein

(book forthcoming from Oxford University Press)

Introduction

Making the Private Public

She is the face of home care: For forty-seven years, single mother Evelyn Hawks has looked after her developmentally disabled daughter, Hester Brown. A former data entry operator, Hawks, who is African American, provides the kind of care her adult child requires under California’s In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program, which pays for her efforts. The work is hard, the income just enough to rent a tiny one-bedroom apartment in central Los Angeles. But Hawks says that the sacrifice is worth keeping her daughter out of an institution. Shortly after taking office in 2003, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger attempted to balance the state budget by eliminating personal attendant services for children like Hester when a parent rather than a stranger performs the labor of care.

America the Beautiful This Memorial Day In the Home with At Home Care in Greensboro – As American as Apple Pie

As we head into the Memorial Holiday Weekend – we have much to be reminded of and mindful on – including the tremendous freedom that we enjoy as a result of the sacrifices made by so many in our military. Thank you, and a million ‘thank yous’ are not enough!

We are mindful of the many senior citizens and others receiving cost-effective home health and home care services in the home at home in Greensboro and surrounding areas in the Piedmont Triad! And the ongoing battle with appropriations lawmakers both federally and in the state of North Carolina, to see the wisdom in properly funding home care services, and how doing so saves money for everyone!

Over this long weekend, or over the next month, consider taking time to talk with the legislators and lawmakers who represent your district, to tell them how important it is to you, a loved one, a parent, maybe your spouse, or even your sister or brother, to have properly funded home health and home care programs, and the positive difference this has made in your or their lives.

We at Hearthside Home Care in Greensboro NC  Thank you, and God Bless America, and for the preservation of cost-saving Medicare and Medicaid programs! They are all about the right services at the right price, at the right time, and at the right place!
