Bill > A00877

This bill amends the New York Elder Law to require the creation of an annual report focusing on primary caregivers for older adults. The report would comprehensively document key details about individuals who provide primary care to elderly persons, including the total number of primary caregivers, their average age, the personal financial cost of providing care, and the economic value and potential state savings generated by these caregivers' services. By mandating this annual report, the legislation aims to provide policymakers and stakeholders with detailed insights into the critical role of family and informal caregivers in supporting older adults, which could potentially inform future policy decisions related to elder care support, financial assistance, or caregiver resources. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, requiring the relevant state agency to compile and publish this detailed report annually.
