S 5418 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Act

This bill creates a federal grant program to fund training and support services for families and caregivers of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. It authorizes grants to health centers, senior centers, area agencies on aging, and other community organizations to provide culturally appropriate services and integrate caregiver support with patient care. The law requires grantees to conduct outreach and ensures at least 10% of funding targets providers serving medically underserved communities. It authorizes funding for fiscal years 2026-2028, focusing on concrete support rather than policy changes.
