Federal Resources for Caregivers
As part of the 2015 White House Conference on Aging (WHoA), there have been several listening sessions held across the country with older Americans, caregivers, families, researchers, leaders in the field of aging and other stakeholders. As a result of the listening session items such as research, programs, input from listening sessions, best practices and resources in the field of aging, resources are being gathered and made available online.
On Wed., May 20, a selection of 39 federal resources for caregivers was posted to WHoA website. The selection comes from numerous federal agencies that include:
- Administration for Community Living
