Abstract
This national study is the first to examine publicly funded caregiver support programs throughout all 50 states. It focuses on caregiver support provided through the Older Americans Act’s National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP), Aged/Disabled Medicaid waiver programs, and state funded programs. The report identifies key findings, describes state approaches to providing caregiver support services, offers state-by-state profiles, pinpoints challenges, and expands recognition of family caregiver needs as distinct from the needs of care receivers (i.e., older people and adults with disabilities).
The report also identifies emerging themes and the relationship of caregiver support to other home and community-based programs.
