Description: The National Center on Caregiving at Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) has announced the addition of new and updated data in its on-line resource, "Caregiving Across the States."

Profiles contain the State's background characteristics related to caregiving and aging, as well as information on publicly-funded caregiver support programs. The updated data is found in the "Selected State Background Characteristics" sections of the State Profiles.

This interactive database, accessible in map format on the FCA website, is a valuable resource to inform State administrators and policymakers about support programs for family caregivers of adults with chronic illnesses or disabilities.
