On Monday, January 25, the Obama Administration’s Task Force on the Middle Class announced a recommendation for increased support for family caregivers. A proposed $102.5 million increase in funding for the Department of Health and Human Services would include $52.5 million for caregiver support programs that provide temporary respite care, counseling, training, and referrals to critical services and $50 million to programs that provide transportation help, adult day care, and in-home services, such as aides to help seniors bathe and cook, help which eases the burden for family members and helps seniors stay in their homes.
