To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to require coverage of, and expand access to, home and community-based services under the Medicaid program; to award grants for the creation, recruitment, training and education, retention, and advancement of the direct care workforce and to award grants to support family caregivers; and for other purposes.

This bill would change the Medicaid program to require coverage of home and community-based services, which are services that help people receive care in their own homes or communities instead of in institutions. It would also provide grant money to help train, hire, and keep workers who provide direct care, as well as grants to support family members who serve as caregivers. No official summary is available for this bill.
