The Southwestern Indiana Regional Council on Aging (SWIRCA & More) is hosting its annual BrewFest on Saturday, Sept. 23, at Evansville’s historic Bosse Field. AARP Indiana is cosponsoring the event, which runs from 6 to 9 p.m.
Throughout Indiana nearly 840,000 Hoosiers care for an older parent, spouse or other loved one, helping them to live safely and independently at home. These family caregivers take on huge responsibilities that can be overwhelming, stressful and exhausting. Many also juggle full- or part-time jobs.
In many urban and rural areas, it isn’t always easy to buy fresh, healthy food. The AARP state office is part of the Indiana Healthy Food Access Coalition, which aims to make it easy to buy fresh fruits and vegetables and whole-grain products in every neighborhood.
November is National Family Caregivers Month, and AARP Indiana is sponsoring a Caregiver Connection event to support Hoosiers who help an aging loved one continue to live independently.
