Caregiver advocate shares 3 policies that could help family caregivers

(Aging Untold) — More than 60 million Americans are family caregivers, balancing work, kids and care for an aging parent or loved one. Jason Resendez, president and CEO of the National Alliance for Caregiving, recently testified before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging. He joined gerontologist “Sam” Cradduck to talk through the solutions he presented. Resendez said the National Alliance for Caregiving is championing changes “to address so many of the pain points that family caregivers face every day.” He said one priority is reauthorization and funding of the Older Americans Act.

Nearly 60% of nurses say they aren’t fully prepared for the technology they use at work

By Ryan Smith for Carrington College Technology has become a central part of modern nursing, from electronic charting systems to AI-powered tools designed to streamline clinical workflows. But as new platforms become more common in healthcare settings, many nurses say they have not received the training needed to feel fully confident using them. A June 2026 survey of 465 registered nurses, commissioned by Carrington College, found that nearly 60% of respondents do not feel fully trained on the technology required for their jobs. While most nurses see the benefits of digital tools, the findings point to a growing gap between the pace of technology adoption and the support healthcare workers receive to use it effectively.

In the new study comparing 2 doses of CBD to a placebo, the researchers reported a 41.9 percent reduction in “drop seizures”—a type of seizure that results in severe loss of muscle control and balance—in patients taking a 20 mg/kg/d CBD regimen, a 37.2 percent reduction in those on a 10 mg/kg/d CBD regimen, and a 17.2 percent reduction in a group given a placebo. The phase III trial was led by principal investigator and study first co-author Orrin Devinsky, MD, a professor of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine and director…
