Purpose for United Caregivers
Of America There is a high probability that most of us will get old. There is even a higher probability that when we get old we will get sick and require some type of long term direct care. When thinking of long term care we have to include more than just the one being cared for. We must place our central focus on the caregiver. This could be a nurse aide working in a nursing home. A home health aide working through a community based home health agency. Or so it is in many cases a family member providing care at home for a loved one. Outside of these full time caregivers above we have a full range of multidisciplinary staff working around the clock to try to keep the system running effectively. These might include, but are not limited to, doctors of gerontology, nurse practitioners, rns, lvns, portable x-ray teams, physical therapists, social workers, specialist in home medical supplies and equipment, and many, many more. The purpose for the United Caregivers of America is to bring all of these fields listed above and then some under one umbrella to create a united force and also creating a support system for all involved. GOALS FOR UNITED CAREGIVERS OF AMERICA Our goal is to recruit 1,000 members on or before January 1, 2009 and raise $250,000 to fund ongoing programs, projects, and events for the association. SHORT TERM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Design, build, and implement website for members and others Open caregiver school in Dallas Provide education, training, and information through community based workshops and seminars Write, direct, and produce documentary on caregivers in America Set up legal advisory board for caregivers Publish monthly online newsletter LONGTERM GOALS Be 10,000 members strong by January 1, 2010 Build the center for gerontological long term care studies by January 1, 2012 Provide group health insurance to members by January 1, 2010 Implement advanced training and education programs that far exceed current state curriculum Fight for wage and benefit increase to meet or exceed current cost of living Change the words nurse aide and home health aide to direct patient care technician Group Tags
