	Colin Bonini on Health Care

Expand on the CARE Act and educate caregivers

Q: AARP believes Delaware's 123,000 unpaid family caregivers provide an important service. AARP supports a range of policies to help caregivers, including greater workplace flexibility, state caregiver tax credits, respite care, and expanding the ability of nurses to delegate certain tasks to direct care workers.

Colin Bonini: Continued education and support are key. I believe we should expand on the CARE Act (which I supported) by having ongoing education opportunities for caregivers and those who may be caregivers in the future. Many, if not all, of us will face the situation of aging family members and loved ones needing assistance. There is no question that helping prepare families for these eventualities is a critical component in not only saving taxpayer money, but also helping ensure our loved ones have the best quality of life they can have.
