Convenient Care for Caregivers Act
This bill establishes a pilot program to support family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related neurological disorders. It provides grants to qualified entities (like senior centers or area agencies) to create "one-stop" care sites offering coordinated health services - such as cognitive screenings, support groups, and care consultations - for both caregivers and their care recipients at the same location. The program requires grantees to collect health data (like stress levels and medical indicators) and track healthcare spending patterns to measure outcomes. Participation is limited to non-professional family caregivers, excluding those in paid care arrangements.
