Caregiver Legislation

Caregiver legislation refers to laws and policies that protect the rights and well-being of individuals who provide unpaid or paid support to those with health challenges, disabilities, or aging needs. These laws often ensure caregivers have access to resources, fair working conditions, and legal protections, as well as safeguard care recipients’ rights and safety. They may include provisions for training, compensation, leave, and dispute resolution, aiming to recognize the vital role caregivers play in maintaining the health and independence of those they support.
