Advocacy at Tendercare

At Tendercare, we believe that every individual deserves access to high-quality health care in the comfort of their own home or community. Our advocacy efforts focus on ensuring patients, especially those with complex medical needs, receive services and support when and where best fits their individual needs. Whether working directly with lawmakers, government agencies, or partnering with local organizations, we’re committed to removing barriers to home health care by amplifying the lived experience of families.

Why We Advocate

Home health care allows patients to receive personalized medical care in a familiar environment, improving health outcomes to enhance quality of life. Many families face challenges in accessing essential care due to shortages in nursing staff, policy gaps, and funding limitations. Tendercare works tirelessly to build relationships with local officials at the statehouse and in other government agencies to ensure every patient t receives the care they need at home, while also championing reforms that make home health care accessible and sustainable for all families.
