Almost a decade ago, Jeannette Galvanek foresaw the current workforce crisis. She had no way to know there would be a pandemic, but COVID didn’t cause the crisis. While many in the care industry are still working to help caregivers “take more bubble baths to reduce stress,” CareWise Solutions focuses on the core causes of the workforce crisis.
The American caregiving system is simply unsustainable. It’s bad now, but it will worsen over the next three decades (Yes! Decades!) if we do not build an innovative infrastructure to support a new way for employees to work and care more naturally.
In this section of the CareWise Solutions website, you’ll find thought articles covering a wide range of modern workforce and employment issues. As organizations try to move into the future with industrial age thinking, workers have moved on. The employment “deal” has shifted permanently, and labor is now a “sellers’ market.”
The CareWise Solutions Blog takes a deep dive into the issues facing organizations, our nation, and the world over the next thirty years. Baby Boomers are aging, and the domino effect is the same as it was when they were born. There were not enough schools to educate them, so the government built more schools. There were not enough hospitals to care for them, so the country built more medical facilities and trained more doctors. Now, as they require care to age-in-place, there is no infrastructure, no workforce, and no healthcare system designed for their needs. So, family members step in to fill the void, placing their own careers, health, and other family relationships at risk.

As our population ages and the workforce becomes more demanding, the collision between family caregiving and work can be a source of significant stress for employees. Traditionally, this has been a problem left for employees to solve on their own, but that is beginning to change. With the advent of CareWise Solutions, we can finally […]
It’s easy to get caught up in the duties of caring for a loved one and disregard your own needs as a carer. Caregivers, on the other hand, must practise self-care in order to preserve their own physical and emotional health and well-being. So just what is self-care? Self-care is any activity that we perform […]
Self-care is essential for caregivers to maintain their physical and mental health. Caregivers can practice self-care by getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and taking breaks when needed. They can also engage in activities that bring them joy and relaxation, such as reading, watching movies, or spending time outdoors. Prioritizing self-care can […]
Professional caregivers face unique challenges in healthcare settings, such as long hours, emotionally demanding work, and difficult patient behaviors. They must also navigate complex healthcare systems and adhere to strict regulations and protocols. It’s important for healthcare organizations to support professional caregivers by providing adequate resources, training, and support to ensure their physical and mental […]
Caregiving can present ethical challenges related to autonomy and safety. Caregivers must balance the individual’s right to make decisions with their safety and wellbeing. They must also navigate complex legal and ethical frameworks related to healthcare decision-making, end-of-life care, and other sensitive topics. It’s important for caregivers to seek guidance from healthcare professionals and legal […]

Employees now use the term quiet quitting as if it has been around forever, but it has probably been around longer than you think. Coined in 2009 by economist Mark Boldger at a Texas A&M economics symposium, he was talking about ambition dropping in Venezuelan workers. By 2021, a labor movement in China, tang ping, […]
