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."
The database includes a separate profile for each State and the
District of Columbia. 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. It also allows caregivers and
service providers to access information they need to seek assistance and
benefits for themselves or their clients. |
