Proposal: Nonmedical care, assistance for seniors through higher ed
A proposal suggests using juniors and seniors in higher education to provide nonmedical care and companionship for seniors without costing taxpayers money.
Carrie Lukas, president of Independent, said many people find the idea sensible when explained.
The proposal focuses on light housekeeping, errands, and companionship, not medical care, and requires students to be matriculated juniors or seniors with professor oversight.
The Independent Women's Law Center found about 1,500 J-6 visas unused in the au pair program.
