When home care work and family handoffs both lack support

The read

Together, the sources identify a potential handoff risk: paid workers report unstable hours and incomplete client information, while unpaid carers separately describe exclusion from information and care decisions. Care systems ask too much of families when the paid workforce lacks predictable work and families lack a meaningful role in the care handoff. Workforce stability and caregiver inclusion deserve attention together because both shape whether care feels continuous to the person receiving it and the people supporting them.
