AARP Iowa

AARP Iowa is calling on the state to form a task force to better protect and support nursing home residents and workers, including pushing for more staffing, personal protective equipment and virtual visitation options.

AARP Iowa is in search of amazing people like you to become volunteers. We are working around the state fighting for Iowans on state and federal issues like Elder Abuse, caregiving, and the high price of prescription drugs.

Even during the coronavirus pandemic, AARP Iowa is encouraging local groups to schedule virtual Fraud Watch Network presentations.

Iowans start voting this week. With record numbers of absentee ballots requested, the county auditors across the state have their work cut out for them. Here from Secretary Pate about ways you can vote, dates and deadlines for voting and how to track your ballot through the process. Head to our voter resources website for more information.

63% Support County Auditors Sending Absentee Ballot Request Applications

AARP Iowa is outraged. Everyone should be. A recent article from Capitol Dispatch reported an Iowa nursing home allowed employees with COVID-19 symptoms to continue working, potentially leading to 11 resident deaths and 95% of the residents testing positive for the coronavirus. This is not the first report we’ve seen with high numbers of resident deaths, and tragically it will likely not be the last. This outrage should prompt immediate state action to direct nursing home and other long-term care (LTC) facilities to implement mandatory testing.
