This Act establishes a pilot program to provide crucial support for unpaid family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders. The program funds centers where both the caregiver and the care recipient can access health care services and support simultaneously in one convenient location. This aims to improve health outcomes for both parties and reduce caregiver burden.
Key points

Services include cognitive screenings, support groups, education, bereavement services, and insurance assistance, all designed to be easily accessible.
The program will track health indicators (like stress and loneliness) and public healthcare spending to measure the effectiveness of integrated support.
