Lifespan Respite Care Act

The Lifespan Respite Care Act provides funding to develop and improve respite care services for family caregivers of individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions across all ages. Its goal is to offer temporary relief, allowing caregivers to rest or attend to personal needs, which enhances their well-being and caregiving capacity. The act promotes coordination among federal, state, and local agencies to expand access, quality, and availability of respite services, ensuring caregivers and their loved ones receive necessary support and care when needed.
