Care Across Generations Act

The Care Across Generations Act (HR 6835) creates a competitive grant program to fund child care centers within long-term care facilities (like nursing homes and assisted living centers). It directly affects facilities that operate or partner with licensed child care centers to coordinate activities between children and seniors. Key provisions include 36-month grants for co-locating child care, mandatory evaluations of program effectiveness, and required reports to Congress on outcomes and best practices. The bill aims to test whether integrated facilities improve experiences for both children and seniors, with findings to inform future policy.
