- Our seniors’ caregivers provide care for some of the most frail and vulnerable residents in our community. They work hard and take pride in the care they provide to their residents.
- In Edison and Plainfield, these caregivers stand to lose their health benefits, putting their families and the seniors they care for at risk.
- Caregivers at JFK Hartwyck at Edison Estates and Cedar Brook are fighting to keep their health insurance and secure fair wage increases. As those who look after people in need, shouldn’t they be able to provide for their own families at the same time they care for others?
