New data available on family caregivers

The Family Caregiver Alliance, based in California but with a national focus of developing high-quality programs and policies in every state for families who care for loved ones at home, has recently published a list of programs in each state that support caregivers. Minnesota's profile includes the Elderly Waiver and Alternative Care programs that are part of the statewide waiver review initiative we have been working on for the previous two years. The State of the States in Family Caregiver Support: A 50-State Study includes a series of data tables comparing how state programs responded to key survey questions, including: program eligibility criteria, caregiver assessments, caregiver support services, respite care and caregiver training.
