Caregiving

Beth, age 75, enjoyed a career that spanned three decades and included marketing, communications and data analyst work before she retired 10 years ago. Her husband Jim, age 89, had a brilliant career as an engineer who also built and flew an aerobatic biplane. He worked full time until he was 83 years old and could always be counted on to take on home repairs.

Concord Television's Senior Speak NH November 2023 edition, hosted by AARP NH volunteer Karen Ulmer Dorsch, features Melissa Grenier from the State of NH Alzheimer's Association.

November is National Family Caregivers Month, which seeks to shine a bright light on the more than 48 million American heroes, including 168,000 here in New Hampshire, helping care for their loved ones independently at home – where they want to be.

As the U.S. population continues aging, older adults and their family caregivers are more often seeking ways to stay in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. However, AARP research shows that while more than three-quarters of adults ages 50 and older want to age in place, one-third also say their houses need modifications to be able to do so safely and independently.

A new AARP Public Policy Institute report shows that 168,000 New Hampshire residents provide unpaid care—valued at $2.8 billion—to an adult relative or friend.
