From PHI:
It’s just one sentence out of 52 pages - not including introductions
and appendixes - but direct-care workers got a mention in the 2008
Democratic National Convention platform.

Democratic National Convention platform.
In a section titled Renewing the American Community, under the subtitle “Seniors,” the platform (pdf) reads:
“We will take steps to ensure that our seniors have
meaningful long-term care options that are consistent with their
individual needs, including the option of home care. We believe that we
must pay caregivers a fair wage and train more nurses and health care
workers so as to improve the availability and quality of long-term
care.”
Could this be a sign that a political will is stirring to improve home care jobs?
