Caregiving is in a critical state and a task force was established in response to the dire need for direction, recommendations, and protocols to address and improve the current situation for caretakers.
With “an estimated 580,000 family caregivers and more than 90,000 direct care workers in [Wisconsin],” it is time to provide the necessary help and support this group of individuals needs now more than ever before. (gtfc.wisconsin.gov)
“The Governor’s Task Force on Caregiving was created to support and strengthen the direct care workforce, increase access to care, and improve the quality of caregiving in Wisconsin. The Task Force welcomes input from family caregivers, professional caregivers, health care providers, and other citizens interested in improving working conditions for individuals who care for people with disabilities and older adults, leading to a better quality of care for the people they serve.” (gtfc.wisconsin.gov)
