About Us

The New York State Caregiving and Respite Coalition (NYSCRC) is a partnership of dedicated organizations and individuals committed to supporting the millions of informal caregivers throughout the state. The coalition and its members are passionate about helping connect caregivers with the information, training and support services critical to successfully caring for a love

d one at home. NYSCRC members are committed to addressing the current and future needs of those engaged in family caregiving across the lifespan. Because statistics show that the number of traditional caregivers are decreasing in many parts of the state, a more innovative approach to supporting those who care for our most frail and vulnerable population is needed. With the help of the Lifespan Respite Grant, NYSCRC is working to develop a comprehensive, sustainable program with the goal of training hundreds of volunteer respite providers throughout the state. Greater availability to respite services will give caregivers more frequent breaks while helping them better manage the physical and emotional stresses that come with caring for an aging and/or disabled loved one. NYSCRC is committed to helping caregivers of all types across the age and disability spectrum. By supporting important initiatives like the volunteer respite program while sharing best practices from across New York, NYSCRC will take an active role in improving the lives of informal caregivers throughout their community, and the over four million family caregivers across the state.

Medicare’s Caregiver Training Services (CTS) reimburse certain providers for delivering structured training and education to family caregivers when those skills are necessary for the patient’s treatment plan. These codes represent a new avenue for caregiver support and are beginning to be implemented across healthcare systems. This session will examine how these efforts are emerging and what early adopters are learning.

Featuring national insights from organizations advancing awareness and advocacy around CTS codes, along with perspectives from healthcare providers integrating the CTS codes into practice, the webinar will offer a clear look at both the policy landscape and on the ground implementation. Participants will gain practical resources and strategies to strengthen caregiver engagement and embed caregiver support within existing care models.

Join Rush University Medical Center, AARP, and the National Alliance for Caregiving for this important discussion on advancing support for family caregivers and strengthen care delivery.
