AARP has a long history of supporting veterans and military families. This includes about six million military service members who are AARP members today. At AARP Florida, we’re providing Florida-specific resources for veterans across our state.
The Florida Public Service Commission has scheduled a series of public hearings across Florida — including in Fort Myers, Miami Gardens, Hollywood, West Palm Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Pensacola, and Panama City — to gather input on Florida Power & Light’s proposed rate hike.
Florida Power & Light (FPL) is proposing an increase that will impact many Floridians, especially seniors on fixed incomes. This proposal raises the minimum base bill for residential customers from $25 to $30—forcing them to pay more regardless of their actual energy usage.
AARP Volunteer Shauna Smith, a retired college professor, is embarking on an inspiring mission to preserve Tallahassee’s rich history by collecting stories of people who have a connection to the Florida A&M University (FAMU) hospital. As part of city’s rich heritage, Smith is gathering stories to preserve a vital piece of Tallahassee’s history by archiving the stories of people who were born or worked at the hospital.

This February, we recognize National Senior Independence Month. At AARP, we strive to create spaces where people of all ages can live independent, fulfilled lives. We are here to act as a wise friend and fierce defender for the 50+, and we aim to help you and your families feel confident, in control and secure as you age.
Many AARP members are proving that retirement is not about slowing down but a rallying cry to stay active, engaged and connected through friendly battles of wit, agility, and exercise…all with a dash of humor.
People of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds are welcome to these free, ongoing events. After a brief health discussion from a healthcare provider, participants will spend the rest of the time enjoying a healthy walk at their own pace. They are encouraged to ask health questions and socialize with others in a fun, relaxed setting.
AARP Florida continues to express concern over the quality of care provided to nursing home residents in Florida, especially in the aftermath of significant nurse staffing reductions mandated by the state legislature in recent years. Data recently released by federal agencies highlights a mixed record on the quality of care, particularly for short-term nursing home residents who require rehabilitation and care following hospital stays.
