States Advance Caregiver Support Initiatives Under National Strategy
States are implementing elements of the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers through new services, workplace protections, and care coordination improvements. Implementation approaches vary by state and include respite care expansion, caregiver assessment protocols, and integration with existing health and social service systems. The strategy aims to address the growing reliance on unpaid family caregivers who provide essential support for aging and disabled populations. These initiatives intersect with Medicaid-funded long-term services and supports, where family caregivers often supplement or enable community-based care delivery.
State caregiver support initiatives directly affect LTSS delivery models and care coordination requirements for Medicaid MCOs serving dual-eligible and high-need populations.
