November is National Family Caregivers Month, a chance to recognize the contributions, commitment, and sacrifices made every day by the 140,091 caregivers in North Dakota alone.
For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
Thanks in part to significant support by AARP members and advocates, the City of Bismarck and the City of Mandan will invest in BisMan Transit's paratransit service ensuring the continuation of safe, reliable and affordable transportation for those with disabilities and/or over 70 years old.
