‘‘TITLE XXIX—LIFESPAN 
RESPITE CARE 
‘‘SEC. 2901. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
‘‘(1) an estimated 26,000,000 individuals in the 
United States care each year for 1 or more adult 
family members or friends who are chronically ill, 
disabled, or terminally ill; 
‘‘(2) an estimated 18,000,000 children in the 
United States have chronic physical, developmental, 
behavioral, or emotional conditions that demand 
caregiver monitoring, management, supervision, or 
treatment beyond that required of children generally;
‘‘(3) nearly 4,000,000 individuals in the United 
States of all ages who have mental retardation or 
another developmental disability live with their fami-
lies; 
‘‘(4) almost 25 percent of the Nation’s elders 
experience multiple chronic disabling conditions that 
make it necessary to rely on others for help in meet-
ing their daily needs; 
‘‘(5) every year, approximately 600,000 Ameri-
cans die at home and many of these individuals rely 
on extensive family caregiving before their death; 
‘‘(6) of all individuals in the United States 
needing assistance in daily living, 42 percent are 
under age 65; 
‘‘(7) there are insufficient resources to replace 
family caregivers with paid workers; 
‘‘(8) if services provided by family caregivers 
had to be replaced with paid services, it would cost 
approximately $200,000,000,000 annually; 
‘‘(9) the family caregiver role is personally re-
warding but can result in substantial emotional, 
physical, and financial hardship; 
‘‘(10) approximately 75 percent of family care-
givers are women;
‘‘(11) family caregivers often do not know 
where to find information about available respite 
care or how to access it; 
‘‘(12) available respite care programs are insuf-
ficient to meet the need and are directed at pri-
marily lower income populations and family care-
givers of the elderly, leaving large numbers of family 
caregivers without adequate support; and 
‘‘(13) the limited number of available respite 
care programs find it difficult to recruit appro-
priately trained respite workers. 
‘‘(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this title are—
‘‘(1) to encourage States to establish State and 
local lifespan respite care programs; 
‘‘(2) to improve and coordinate the dissemina-
tion of respite care information and resources to 
family caregivers; 
‘‘(3) to provide, supplement, or improve respite 
care services to family caregivers; 
‘‘(4) to promote innovative, flexible, and com-
prehensive approaches to—
‘‘(A) the delivery of respite care; 
‘‘(B) respite care worker and volunteer re-
cruitment and training programs; and
‘‘(C) training programs for family care-
givers to assist such family caregivers in mak-
ing informed decisions about respite care serv-
ices; 
‘‘(5) to support evaluative research to identify 
effective respite care services that alleviate, reduce, 
or minimize any negative consequences of caregiving; 
and 
‘‘(6) to promote the dissemination of results, 
findings, and information from programs and re-
search projects relating to respite care delivery, fam-
ily caregiver strain, respite care worker and volun-
teer recruitment and training, and training pro-
grams for family caregivers that assist such family 
caregivers in making informed decisions about res-
pite care services.
