AARP Eye Center
For National Family Caregivers Month, AARP New York reached out to legislators so they could share their caregiving stories and why they believe it’s important to highlight services for caregivers. New York State’s 2.2 million family caregivers provide an estimated 2.1 billion hours of care for older parents, spouses, and other loved ones each year.
Watch below to hear the messages from caregivers of the Capitol and what they want to send out to New York caregivers along with their own personal experiences:
