H. CON. RES. 228
Expressing the sense of Congress that the National Family Caregiver

unpaid care for the elderly and care for children under 18 years of
age.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that the National Family Caregiver
Support Program should be fully funded to continue efforts to provide
relief and necessary services to individuals who perform informal or
unpaid care for the elderly and care for children under 18 years of
age.
Whereas the need for long-term care is expected to increase in future years and
will place additional demands on both public and private resources;
Whereas, in fiscal year 2001, long-term care services for individuals of all
ages cost over $151 billion, of which $98.5 billion was spent on public
programs;
Whereas the expansion of current programs is needed just to meet the needs of
the increasing elderly population that is anticipated to double in size
by 2030;
Whereas although family members provide the majority of most long-term care,
most public funding is spent on institutional care;
Whereas community-based and home services that could best assist families are
limited in their availability;
Whereas each year one in three Americans provides uncompensated care to one or
more ill or disabled family members or friends;
Whereas nearly 52 million Americans--31 percent of the adult population between
20 and 75--offer ``informal care'' to a family member or friend who is
ill or disabled;
Whereas approximately one in five Americans care for a sick family member at
some point in their lives, demonstrating the ongoing nature of most
informal care;
Whereas adults in their 40's and 50's are more likely to care for an ill elderly
relative than are adults in their twenties or seventies;
Whereas the National Long-Term Care Survey indicates that if the work performed
by informal caregivers was to be replaced by paid home care, the
resulting costs would rise from $45 billion to $94 billion each year;
and
Whereas the National Family Caregiver Support Program, established in 2000,
offers relief and necessary services to individuals providing informal
or unpaid care to the elderly, as well as to older persons who are
caring for children under age 18: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of Congress that the National Family Caregiver
Support Program, subpart 1 of part E of title III of the Older
Americans Act of 1965, (42 U.S.C. 3030s--3030s-2), should be fully
funded to continue efforts to provide relief and necessary services to
individuals who perform informal or unpaid care for the elderly and
care for children under 18 years of age.
