Summary: The National Alliance for Caregiving supports the expansion of the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) Model and urges CMS to explicitly promote and integrate Caregiver Training Services (CTS) within it. They argue that providing structured, assessment-informed training for family caregivers is essential for improving patient recovery outcomes, strengthening care transitions, and reducing avoidable hospitalizations.
