With a sweeping new executive order, President Joe Biden is looking to ease pressure on the nation’s beleaguered home and community-based services system.
The White House described the order, which Biden signed Tuesday in a Rose Garden ceremony, as “the most comprehensive set of executive actions any president has ever taken to improve care for hard-working families while supporting care workers and family caregivers.”
It tasks nearly every cabinet-level agency in the federal government with various efforts to expand access to affordable, high-quality care and provide support for both paid and family caregivers.
