New York Legislators Share Why Caregiving Matters

New York State Capitol Building, Albany — The New York State Capitol Building in Albany, home of the New York State Assembly.

As part of 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 4  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 their own personal experiences:
