Approximately 70% of adults aged ≥65 years will need some type of long-term care services, including unpaid care from relatives, friends, or partners. More than 53 million American adults provide upwards of $500 billion in unpaid health care as family caregivers. In 2018, Congress enacted two laws supporting family caregiving: the Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregivers Act and the Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (SGRG) Act, directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop a national caregiving strategy. Advisory Councils for these two acts developed a total of 48 recommendations as the foundation for this strategy. Resources collected to inform these recommendations are now catalogued and publicly available. This opportunity for gerontological nurses to gain additional knowledge and access to services to support family caregivers and grandparents raising grandchildren will advance their work in assessing, documenting, and coordinating care for family caregivers and care recipients.

大约 70% 的 65 岁以上的成年人需要某种类型的长期护理服务，包括来自亲戚、朋友或伴侣的无偿护理。超过 5300 万美国成年人作为家庭照顾者提供超过 5000 亿美元的无偿医疗保健。2018 年，国会颁布了两项支持家庭照料的法律：《承认、协助、包括、支持和参与 (RAISE) 家庭照料者法案》和《支持祖父母抚养孙子女 (SGRG) 法案》，指示卫生与公众服务部部长制定一项国家照料战略。这两项法案的咨询委员会共制定了 48 项建议作为该战略的基础。为告知这些建议而收集的资源现已编目并公开提供。老年护士有机会获得更多知识和获得服务以支持家庭照顾者和抚养孙子女的祖父母，这将促进他们在评估、记录和协调对家庭照顾者和被照顾者的护理方面的工作。[老年护理杂志，48（9），5-7。]
