In May 2022, as part of the Age-Friendly Three-Year Action Plan, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors authorized the Santa Clara County Adult Caregiver Study to identify and address the demand for, availability and accessibility of, and gaps in caregiving services and supports in SCC through actionable recommendations, before county resources are overwhelmed. The study conducted an analysis of caregiving in SCC with a primary focus on family caregivers—because of their numbers and needs—and a secondary focus on direct care workers, an essential caregiver workforce.
