Are you, or someone you love, providing home health care for a family member with aging or disability issues?

A severe shortage of home health care professionals means many families are bearing the burden – financial, emotional and physical – of caring for loved ones, often at the expense of their own well-being and employment. Tony’s guests today on the 8 O’Clock Buzz are Echnaton Vedder and Luciano Matheron, who encourage listeners to raise awareness of this issue by taking part in tonight’s meeting of the Disability Rights Commission.

The virtual meeting is tonight, Thursday, February 23 at 5:00pm, and if interested, you can watch it online as well as register to comment.

Let the city of Madison know what kind of steps need to be taken to address the crisis families are facing as they seek to help their aging and/or disabled family member live their lives with dignity.
