Subject: | The Family Caregiver Support Advisory Board Act |
In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation that directs the Department of Public Welfare to establish a family caregiver support advisory board. This legislation was introduced in the 2011/2012 Legislative Session as HB 2456. Across the Commonwealth, families are choosing to care for their loved one with a disability so the individual can remain in their home and community. Providing care to a family member offers great rewards and many challenges to the caregivers. The family caregiver advisory support board will work closely with the Department to address the needs of caregivers and to assure appropriate services are available. If you have any questions regarding this piece of legislation, please contact my office at 787-6886. Prior Cosponsors - V. BROWN, CALTAGIRONE , D.
