This bill appropriates funds to the department of health and human services for several programs aimed at supporting seniors and their caregivers. Specifically, it allocates $552,508 for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2027, to the Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) caregiver respite program, which provides temporary relief for individuals caring for those with these conditions. Additionally, the bill allocates $100,000 for each of those fiscal years to the foster grandparent program, which connects seniors with children needing mentorship and support, and $180,000 for each fiscal year to the retired senior volunteer program (RSVP), which supports various community service activities for seniors. Finally, $30,000 is appropriated for each fiscal year to the senior companion program, which provides companionship and assistance to isolated or homebound seniors. These appropriations are intended to ensure the continuation and funding of these vital programs.
