What We’re Advocating For
Reintroduce the Homecare for Seniors Act
Home care allows older adults to remain safely in their homes while receiving the support they need. The Homecare for Seniors Act would expand access to home care services and strengthen the workforce needed to support America’s aging population.
Establish a Home Care Visa
Workforce shortages remain one of the biggest barriers to meeting the growing demand for home care. Creating a Home Care Visa program would help address caregiver shortages by allowing qualified international workers to provide essential care services in the United States.
Repeal the Medicaid 80/20 Provision
The federal 80/20 rule would require home care providers to spend a fixed percentage of Medicaid payments on caregiver wages. While intended to support workers, the policy would impose rigid federal mandates that fail to reflect the realities of delivering care across states and could limit access to services.
Improve Care for Veterans
Veterans rely heavily on home care to remain independent in their communities. Congress should work to strengthen programs that support in-home care for veterans, including ensuring adequate reimbursement and sustainable provider participation.
Strengthen Medicaid Program Integrity
Recent federal discussions have highlighted concerns about Medicaid fraud and misuse in certain programs. While addressing fraud is important, policymakers must ensure reforms target bad actors without disrupting legitimate home care providers or limiting access to services for vulnerable individuals who rely on care at home.
Why Your Voice Matters
Members of Congress consistently say that hearing directly from constituents is the most impactful part of their job. When home care providers and caregivers speak up, it helps lawmakers understand the real-world impact of the policies they debate. Your message can help ensure that federal policies support access to care, a strong workforce, and the ability for people to age safely at home.
