AARP Delaware plans to make the expanded use of accessory dwelling units a key statewide priority in 2024.

Starting in 2025, more Delaware workers should be able to save for retirement by having money deducted from their paychecks at work.

AARP Delaware is working to help First Staters cast ballots more easily.
Delaware’s 123,000 family caregivers often have to juggle tending to loved ones while working. That task is even more burdensome when ailing or aging family members need to have medication administered to them.
AARP was founded in 1958 by Ethel Percy Andrus, a retired educator from California. As we celebrate our 60th birthday, we stay true to her original mission by creating positive social change through advocacy, service and information for Delawareans age 50-plus, and their families. The drive, innovation and compassion of our founder continue to inspire our work as we dedicate ourselves to improving lives, standing up to injustice and transforming the marketplace. We aim to empower people to choose how they live as they age.
Residence- and community-based care can make older people’s goal of aging in place much easier.
