- Abstract:
- The Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE) Act became law in 40 states and territories in just four years, and additional states have initiated the legislative process. The swift uptake indicates policy maker recognition of the support family caregivers need to perform the medical/nursing tasks they face at home after a family member or friend is discharged from the hospital. The landmark 2012 AARP and United Hospital Fund report Home Alone: Family Caregivers Providing Complex Chronic Care, funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation, drove the rapid policy adoption of the CARE Act. The report also inspired the creation of the Home Alone Alliance, a partnership of public, private, and nonprofit organizations coming together to change the way health care organizations and professionals interface with family caregivers. This Spotlight provides an update on CARE Act implementation, bringing in views from the field. Future publications will highlight innovations and promising practices. Involving family caregivers during the hospital stay reflects a commitment to person- and family-centered care and improved outcomes for all people, regardless of their age or diagnosis, and for the family members, neighbors, and friends who support them.
