Home Care Attendants Join Seniors, People With Disabilities: Ask Governor to Support Consumer Workforce Council

Rally and Press Conference April 1st

On April 1st, 2009, over two hundred people with disabilities, seniors, and home care attendants gathered in Harrisburg to ask Governor Rendell to build the Consumer Workforce Council.  In the pouring rain, they joined over a dozen legislators to say that we need a retainable, reliable home care workforce to strengthen home care in our state.
