Con artists have latched on to gift cards as a convenient, untraceable form of payment in their scams. That’s why AARP Delaware supported a new law, which was sponsored by State Representative Larry Lambert, requiring retailers selling third-party gift cards to post signage alerting customers to protect themselves from gift card scams and telling them how to report it. The bill is aligned with AARP’s efforts to prevent fraud through its Fraud Watch Network, and had AARP Delaware's full support as it sailed through the Legislature and passed unanimously.

AARP believes that people should be able to age with dignity and independence, and with a high-quality of life. That's why AARP submitted its recommendation to state leaders for the planning and designing of the new facility that will replace Delaware’s Home for the Chronically IlI in Smyrna, Delaware, highlighting the importance for long-term care facilities to promote safety, well-being, and infection control especially with today’s challenges in dealing with COVID. AARP is talking with state leaders and Delaware’s Division of Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities to encourage moving away from the traditional facility design. AARP recommended the incorporation of a state-of-the-art Green House Model into plans for the new Home for the Chronically III facility.
