Thank you for your “Honoring our Families…” article here, and for emphasizing the critical role that direct-care workers play within the care team. If “person-directed” care is ever to become more than just a slogan, family caregivers and paid direct-caregivers—together—must be designed into the very center of the care coordination team.
