If you are one of an estimated 837,000 Hoosiers who provide unpaid care for a family member or friend—or expect to be a caregiver in the future—AARP Indiana invites you to Caregiving Night on Thursday, June 22, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
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.
As part of a continuing effort to inform Hoosiers about a state law that improves communication between hospitals and family caregivers, AARP Indiana is offering free wallet-sized cards about the CARE Act, explaining caregivers’ rights when a patient comes home from a hospital stay.
