What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryBrings child care into senior living facilities
This bill would have the federal Administration on Aging give grants to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other long-term care centers so they can offer child care services and run activities that bring together older and younger people. Facilities could use the money to run their own child care, partner with existing child care providers, or build new spaces to accommodate both children and seniors.
How it affects you
If you're a senior in a long-term care facility or a parent needing child care, this could create opportunities in your area, depending on whether your facility receives a grant and chooses to participate. The bill doesn't directly affect people who aren't connected to participating facilities.

Care Across Generations Act
This bill requires the Administration on Aging to award grants for long-term care facilities (including assisted living and nursing homes) to offer child care services and to coordinate multigenerational activities among long-term care and child care participants. In lieu of directly operating a child care facility, a long-term care facility may opt to contract with an existing child care facility. Grant recipients may also use the funds to build or expand a facility to accommodate child care and multigenerational events.
