What this bill would do
The ``Convenient Care for Caregivers Act'' proposes to amend the Older Americans Act of 1965 to create a pilot program. This program is designed to assist family caregivers of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders. The Assistant Secretary will establish the program to help these caregivers access health care services and other supports. Grants will be provided to qualified entities to fund specific projects. These projects aim to improve health outcomes for both the caregivers and the individuals they care for. The goal is to offer healthcare services and supports at the same time and location.
