Iterations and Variations
(Page 2 of 2)
Imagine if we all took pen to paper (or
keyboard to computer) and stated our needs to those in
power. Action like that takes an understanding of
our role in society as family caregivers or, as we like
to say, being the CEO of Caring for My Loved One, Inc.
Helping caregivers appreciate their importance and
authority was the motivation behind the creation of the
Fearless Caregiver Manifesto. It is essential that
we be accepted as equal members of our loved one’s care
team and we deserve all the respect the system has to
offer.
Around that time, we also found and
publicized a tremendous
Caregiver Bill of Rights that was written by Jo
Horne. Many times over these last two decades people
have taken pen to paper to create what they think is a
truly original idea, a Caregiver Bill of Rights, maybe
not realizing that one had already been created and
makes the case extremely well.
It has been our pleasure and, I feel,
our duty to continue to bring you so many of these
vitally important caregiving voices such as Jo Horne’s,
especially as she was so prescient so many years ago.
