LUMBERTON – AARP is recognizing the efforts of 40 million Americans, including the nearly 1.8 million in North Carolina, who help older parents, spouses, and other loved ones live independently at home, where they want to be. According to the AARP Public Policy Institute, the unpaid care they provide – managing medications, cooking meals, driving to appointments, performing complex medical tasks and more – is valued at about $5.95 billion annually.
