Caregivers dedicated hours of life working tirelessly to provide quality care in the home and community service sector. Every day, caregivers  joins the ranks of countless other caregivers in Oregon who support our most vulnerable members of society. But caregivers dedication comes at a personal cost - inadequate healthcare, low pay, limited or no paid benefits. Now, House Bill 3838 in Oregon could change this reality for caregivers. 

House Bill 3838 aims to secure better compensation and stronger benefits for caregivers. This includes ensuring healthcare benefits, better pay, and guaranteeing other necessary paid benefits. This positive change is not only fair to the hardworking caregivers but is also a smart investment in the quality of health services they deliver.

According to the 'Aging in Place' report by AARP, almost 90 percent of people over 65 want to stay at home as long as possible, and 80% believe their current home is where they will always live. In-home caregivers lie at the heart of making these wishes a reality for our older loved ones. Recognizing their contribution with fair compensation and benefits is a necessary step towards delivering better care.
