Attendant Care with Hannah Karpilow
We’ve all heard or said things like, “My attendant is part of my family,” or “I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning without an attendant – literally.” For many people with disabilities, attendants are a crucial part of daily life
The Independent Living Movement fought for attendant wages so we weren’t entirely dependent on family members and friends. Women of color, who provide most of the attendant care in California, were the force behind the permanent adoption of the California Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in 2016.
And, there’s some good news, as new state and federal programs are being proposed and developed to put more care into home care. Check out this plan for Universal Family Care and the massive detailed report of how to implement it on the state level. Hook up with the folks the California Collaborative for Long Term Services and Supports to make your voice more powerful.
Hannah Karpilow has spent years deep in the trenches of care giving for disabled people as well as providing support for other home care workers.
With an interview with home care worker, Aaron Draper.
