Todd Stubbendieck has been named Director of AARP Nebraska. He will lead the Nebraska staff and team of 200 plus volunteers who are working to improve the health, finances and well-being of 194,000 members in the state.
In Nebraska, approximately 240,000 family caregivers provided an estimated 199 million hours of care — worth a staggering $2.9 billion— to their parents, spouses, partners, and friends in 2017, according to state data available in the latest report of AARP’s Valuing the Invaluable series. The complexity of family caregiving increases as medical and nursing tasks continue to enter the home, and family demographics change amidst an aging population.
Tax credits for caregivers, paid sick leave for workers, broadband internet access and prescription drug costs are issues important to Nebraska residents 50 and older.
