Iowa CARE Act seeks to aid caregiving families in hospitals
Iowa lawmakers consider passing the 2018 Iowa CARE Act to support 317000 caregiving families through hospital stays and home transitions. The bill outlines pre-discharge caregiver instructions for tasks like wound care and injections with input from health groups. Danielle Oswald-Thole and Stacy Freland urge adoption as Iowa lags behind 14 states in formal caregiver support.
