RCI Releases Candidates on Caregiving – a Tracker for the 2020 Presidential Election

AMERICUS, GA – The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving today released the Candidates on Caregiving policy tracker. This one-stop guide summarizes where the candidates running for President of the United States stand on caregiving, respite care and long-term care.

“Caregiving takes a lot of time, energy and dedication,” said Dr. Jennifer Olsen, executive director of RCI. “The same can be said for deciding which candidate running for President to support. Given the demands on a caregiver’s time, we hope this guide is helpful when they go to vote.”

The Candidates on Caregiving policy tracker will be updated through the election day in November.

“Often people are searching for a way to support caregivers,” continued Olsen. “It is helpful to remember, and consider, their needs when voting.”

The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers has formally merged with The Carter Center, now functioning under its Mental Health Program.  

By uniting the work of these organizations — both rooted in Mrs. Carter’s lifelong vision and leadership — we are taking concrete steps to expand support, champion policies, and develop innovative solutions for the millions of family caregivers who dedicate their lives to caring for loved ones. 

Together, we will ensure that caregivers and individuals facing mental health challenges are seen, heard, and supported — now and in the future.
