Nevadans are now hearing a new question when being admitted for a hospital stay: “Do you have a family caregiver?”

More than 500,000 Nevadans currently serve as family caregivers, providing assistance to an aging parent or other loved one with the tasks of daily living. AARP Nevada, the Asian Community Development Center (ACDC) and Rising Asian Pacific Americans Coalition for Diversity (RAPACD) are pleased to welcome Major General Antonio "Tony" Taguba - one of the nation's foremost advocates for caregivers and veterans - to Las Vegas for two special community events:

Social Security needs to be updated for the 21st century so we can keep the promise for future generations. If our nation’s leaders don’t act, future retirees could lose up to $10,000 a year.

They're in the community every day - volunteering, making a difference, lending their time and talent to help those in need. They work in food banks and animal shelters, in schools and in hospitals - improving our communities and enhancing quality of life for others . They are often unsung heroes, working and giving without recognition or thanks - just because it's the right thing to do. If you know an extraordinary volunteer age 50 or older, show your appreciation by nominating him or her for the 2016 AARP Nevada Andrus Award for Community Service!

Are your family and friends on Facebook, while you're still wondering what's in it for you? Or if you already use Facebook, do you worry about privacy on the social network? Hate sifting through irrelevant or annoying posts and game invitations to find what you're looking for?

Are you a movie lover? Do you enjoy comparing notes with fellow theatergoers? Do you share reviews or even write your own?
