President Barack Obama Walks a Day in a Home Care Attendant's Shoes!

When President-elect Barack Obama was still on the campaign trail, he joined home care worker Pauline Beck and senior and home care consumer John Thornton to walk a day in Pauline's shoes.  He did all the hard work a direct care worker does every day -- helping John -- a retiree in Alameda, California, stay independent in his home.

"Seniors and those living with disabilities really need this assistance," Pauline says. It’s important for their minds and bodies that they are able to stay in their homes and live out their lives. We need to think about how we’ll want to be treated when we are that age."
