Join AARP thought leaders and nursing leaders from around the country to talk about nurses supporting family caregivers. Learn how the Caregiver Advise, Record, and Enable (CARE) Act is designed to ensure that family caregivers are well equipped to take care of their loved ones. Family caregivers are increasingly providing complex care at home with little to no training, which can lead to readmission of the person they care for. Learn why nursing leaders support it, and hear how the nursing community can be a vital partner in bringing the CARE Act to all 50 states.
