Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support: Grants for Training and Community Services.
This Act aims to improve the lives of families and unpaid caregivers of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. It authorizes federal grants for public and nonprofit service providers to expand training and support services. Citizens will benefit from better access to culturally appropriate assistance programs designed to alleviate the burden of daily caregiving.
Key points
