National Alliance for Caregiving

#CaregiverNation24 Advocacy Day is in full swing on Capitol Hill with over 100 office meetings, where advocates are fighting for policies that will support America’s 53 million family caregivers. We’re urging Congress to act on the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act, a critical step to provide the recognition, resources, and support caregivers so deeply deserve. It’s time to value family caregivers in our society and ensure they receive the assistance they need to care for their loved ones without sacrificing their own health and well-being. We are proud to stand with advocates from across the country to make a real impact and drive change for family caregivers. #ActOnRAISE #FamilyCaregivers #Caregiving #OlderAmericansAct

This morning, our President and CEO Jason Resendez gave an emotional welcome at #CaregiverNation24, highlighting the ‘common ground’ family #caregiving creates across divides. “This is a crucial moment for our caregiving movement. With more than 53 million Americans rising each day to care for loved ones, we face daunting challenges. But on this common ground, we're witnessing what's possible when we unite around our shared commitment to care.” Jason celebrated key areas of progress, including the launch of nearly all 350 actions from the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers and an additional $22 million investment to expand these efforts. Other achievements include #Medicare’s caregiver training reimbursement, expanded paid leave policies, and state initiatives like tax credits and paid sick leave. Yet, recognized caregivers still face isolation and overwhelming challenges, calling for systemic changes: tax recognition of caregiving’s $600 billion contribution, workplace policies that balance work and care, and better support for direct care workers. “At a time like this, we don't slow down. We double down.” #CareisHere #ICare

As we honor #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, Zuzette’s story reminds us of the power of support systems for family caregivers. When Zuzette attended a Title VI Older Americans Act conference, she discovered that, beyond being a loving daughter, she was also a caregiver. This eye-opening experience connected her to resources she never knew existed. For countless family caregivers, the Older Americans Act (OAA) provides essential support. Reauthorizing the OAA means ensuring that millions of older adults and family caregivers, like Zuzette, can access critical services like respite care, transportation, and caregiver training. Together, let’s advocate for a strengthened #OlderAmericansAct so every caregiver can get the support they deserve.
