A bill to amend the Older Americans Act of 1965 to develop and expand integrated caregiver support services for family caregivers, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 4736, also known as the Caregiver Support Services Act, aims to make changes to the Older Americans Act of 1965 in order to enhance and broaden the availability of integrated caregiver support services for family caregivers. The bill seeks to provide additional resources and assistance to those who are caring for older adults, with the goal of improving the quality of care and support for both the caregivers and the individuals they are caring for.

The proposed legislation includes provisions for the development and expansion of caregiver support services, such as training programs, respite care, counseling services, and other forms of assistance. These services are intended to help caregivers better manage the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that come with caring for older adults.

In addition to providing support services, the bill also aims to increase awareness and access to these resources for family caregivers. This includes outreach efforts to inform caregivers about the available services and how to access them, as well as efforts to ensure that the services are culturally competent and inclusive of diverse populations. Overall, the Caregiver Support Services Act seeks to address the growing need for caregiver support in the United States, and to ensure that family caregivers have the resources and assistance they need to provide quality care for their loved ones.
