The caregiver crisis is reaching a breaking point. As our population ages, the need for dedicated caregivers grows.
However, low wages and demanding work conditions are pushing these essential workers away.
Their tireless efforts in assisting our elderly and disabled loved ones with daily tasks and medical care often go unnoticed and underappreciated.
The lack of fair compensation and overwhelming responsibilities create a situation where caregivers are burning out and leaving the field.
This leaves our most vulnerable citizens without the care they need and deserve.
To address this crisis, Rabbi Gaines and Patricia Wu suggest to prioritize the well-being of caregivers, providing them with adequate financial support and resources to manage the emotional toll of their work. Only then can we ensure that those who need care receive the quality support they deserve.
