DESCRIPTION:SF Gray Panther June Meeting\n \nWe Need Universal Long-Term Care \n 
 \nTues, June 19, 1 PM\nUnitarian Center, 1187 Franklin, at Geary\nEveryoone 
 invited, free, wheelchairs OK\n \nTens of millions of seniors and people 
 with disabilities need, or will need, long-term care, yet this care is 
 ruinously expensive, or exhausting for family members, and is often 
 inadequate.   \n \nLearn more about the problem and how senior/disability 
 activists, personal attendants, and people hiring them, are working 
 together to win quality and affordable long-term care for all who need it 
 in California.\n\nHow can we meet growing and unmet long-term care needs of 
 today’s and tomorrow’s seniors and people with disabilities?  Our 
 speakers:\n\nSteve Kaye is a Professor at the UCSF Institute for Health & 
 Aging. He is an author of the Health Affairs paper " Long-term care: who 
 gets it, who provides it, who pays, and how much?" His interests also 
 include community-based long-term services and supports needed by people 
 with disabilities of all ages, employment issues among people with 
 disabilities, use of information and assistive technology, and disability 
 measurement and data collection.  \n\nLindsay Imai Hong is a leader of the 
 SF Care Council, a group of senior, disability, and domestic worker 
 activists pressing for affordable, quality long-term care for all need it, 
 and creation of a new workforce of care workers with good pay and working 
 conditions, dignity, training, and legal protections.  Lindsay is the Bay 
 Area Organizer for Hand-in-Hand, a network of people employing domestic 
 workers, including personal assistants, working for dignified and 
 respectful working conditions in the home that will benefit worker and 
 employer alike.\n\nBoth Steve and Lindsay are part of the group that put 
 together San Francisco's Support at Home program, a pilot program of 
 subsidies to help pay for home care for SF residents who do not qualify for 
 In-Home Support Services because their income is slightly above IHSS 
 limits.  San Francisco's Support at Home is a step toward universal 
 long-term care, just as Healthy San Francisco is a step toward universal 
 healthcare in California.\n\n \n\n\n
