2022 National Family Caregiving Strategy

The 2022 National Family Caregiving Strategy is a comprehensive plan to improve the lives of millions of Americans who provide unpaid care to their loved ones. The strategy was developed by two advisory councils created by Congress, with input from the public and various stakeholders. The objectives of the strategy are to increase awareness, advance partnerships, strengthen services, support financial security, and promote innovation for family caregivers. The institutions involved in the strategy include 15 federal agencies, state and local governments, public health departments, philanthropies, and community-based, faith-based, and nonprofit organizations. The scope of the strategy covers family caregivers of all ages. The key features and implementation of the strategy include more than 350 federal actions and 150 measures that others can take in the next three years to begin to implement the strategy. The outputs and results of the strategy are expected to improve the quality of life of family caregivers and their care recipients, promote social cohesion and solidarity, create employment and professional opportunities in the caregiving sector, and contribute to the sustainability of the public social protection system. The timeline of the strategy is from 2022 to 2025, and it will be updated as the caregiving landscape evolves.
