​​Recently, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10), alongside with Rep. Bryan Steil (WI-01), introduced the bipartisan Care Across Generations Act. The bill, which AHCA/NCAL supports, establishes a grant program for long-term care facilities to operate or contract with a childcare program and facilitate intergenerational activities. Rep. Strickland’s press statement notes that “intergenerational caregiving that combines senior and child day care services increases the health and well-being of both young and older participants, reduces social isolation, and creates cost efficiencies.” You can find the bill text here​. ​
