Opinion | Caring for elders is hard. A new program could help. – The Washington Post
(Illustration by Adrián Astorgano / For The Washington Post)Caring for elders is hard. A new program could help.
Families need government to get out of the way, December 17, 2025
(Illustration by Adrián Astorgano / For The Washington Post)4 min, By Carrie Lukas, Carrie Lukas is president of Independent Women.
Inflation eased this past year, but not for everything: In-home elder care costs surged by nearly 10 percent, which is more than three times the overall inflation rate. Brace for continued double-digit price increases without policy change.
The best of The Post’s opinions and commentary, in your inbox every morning
Elder care costs are rising because demand is rising. By 2030, the number of people aged 65 and older will exceed 73 million; that’s a 30 percent increase in just one decade.
Yet instead of preparing for this reality, policymakers have constructed a system that discourages flexibility and rewards bureaucracy. The average cost of full-time, in-home assistance is nearly $80,000 a year. Residential facilities are even pricier: roughly $127,000 per year for a room in a private nursing home and around $70,000 for a room in assisted living. These costs are rising faster than wages, savings and public budgets.
Most older Americans don’t want to end up in residential facilities. A 2022 AARP survey found that 77 percent of adults aged 50 and older said they want to “age in place.” Unfortunately, government policy often stands in the way of seniors staying in their homes.

One culprit is the 2013 “Home Care Rule,” a Labor Department reinterpretation of the Fair Labor Standards Act that gutted the long-standing companionship exemption. Families who once hired live-in companions through agencies for light caregiving and daily living assistance suddenly faced overtime and wage rules. While some families employ live-in help as household employees or independent contractors, more than three quarters of home care aides are hired through agencies. While those rules may make sense for traditional employers, they don’t work for private households — instead, they make in-home elder care needlessly complex and prohibitively costly.
The Trump administration is working to rescind that rule, which is a crucial step in the right direction. It would allow families to negotiate caregiving arrangements that meet their needs without violating a tangle of labor laws.
But more can be done. Policymakers should look beyond regulatory rollback to innovation. They can start by making it easier for seniors to offer rent-free housing as partial compensation for caregiving services. Under the current interpretation of labor laws, room and board cannot be considered part of compensation if it’s offered as a condition of employment. Changing this provision to allow room and board to count as compensation would make hiring live-in assistance financially viable for middle-income seniors. This could be a win-win for caregivers and seniors alike. Millions of seniors live in homes with unused spare bedrooms and face a challenge with loneliness, which can lead to deteriorating mental and physical health. Caregivers, on the other hand, often struggle to afford housing.

Since the Bio field has such a short character limit, consider this to be my profile/biography.
I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), loneliness, bad self-esteem, or anxiety/depression, and will not add those who do so often. The same is true of those who feel it necessary to use obscenities. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.Hello. For the sake of honesty, Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use online. I live in New Jersey and am forty-two years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, British literature, nature and historical documentaries, gardening, cats, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera (particularly singers from the early 1900's through the 1950's), classical music (from Baroque through early Romantic), and popular music (from the 1950's through the 1970's). I prefer antique menswear and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. I am a happily childfree atheist. I love cats. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. I am single and prefer men over sixty, though more so over seventy.
If you're on MSN via Escargot, I am [email protected]. I am also the administrator of the OldOpera and BlindAndFine, subreddits
This is my dating post on Mastodon, which is shorter than the one on Dreamwidth. It's somewhat similar to this one, but it contains an explanation of what I am seeking in a partner. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, an intelligent, single, childfree man over sixty, please read the link below and/or pass it on to him.
