A 3603 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to informal caregiver training

This bill (A 3603) creates a statewide program to provide training and support for informal caregivers. It defines "person in need of assistance" broadly (including those needing help with daily tasks due to age or disability) and expands the definition of "informal caregiver" to include family members or others providing care who may not live in the same household (e.g., older adults caring for minor relatives). Key provisions require the state director to develop training curricula covering health knowledge, stress management, and resource access, fund caregiver resource centers and networks, and issue annual reports on program effectiveness. The law directly affects caregivers and the people they support, aiming to improve care quality through structured training.
