Family caregiving is now front and center in state capitals as well as in Washington. Passage of the RAISE Family Caregiver Act calls for the development of a national caregiving strategy by the Department of Health and Human Services. A fifteen-member Family Caregiving Advisory Council will assist. On the state level, NJ and WI have joined 8 other states in undertaking their own statewide task forces on caregiving. Caring America stands ready to assist all such efforts to create better approaches to this issue.
