California Welfare and Institutions Code · 2020-11 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California

The Legislature finds all of the following:

(a) Most people with cognitive impairment who need long-term care live at home or in community settings, not in institutions.

(b) Family members caring for a loved one with cognitive impairment face significant challenges to maintaining physical and mental health as a result of the burdens of caregiving.

(c) The California caregiver resource centers (CRCs) effectively advocate for family caregivers.

(d) The CRCs use evidence-based practices to improve health outcomes for caregivers and the people to whom they provide care.

(e) The services provided by CRCs help families avoid or delay nursing home placement, resulting in significant savings in health care costs to government, individuals, and communities.

(f) The CRC system strengthens the California economy by helping working families who care for a loved one.

(g) The state shall support family caregivers taking care of adults, persons 18 years of age or older, living with cognitive impairment by funding and implementing the California CRCs.

(Repealed and added by Stats. 2013, Ch. 708, Sec. 2. (AB 753) Effective October 10, 2013.)
