Caregiving

More than 1 in 5 Ohioans age 45 and over currently provide unpaid care to an adult relative or friend, according to a new AARP Vital Voices survey. The poll explores the perspectives of Ohio residents on issues such as health care, financial security, caregiving and livable communities. Its findings will help guide AARP Ohio’s work across the state.

State Director Jenny Carlson shares her caregiving journey, invites Ohio caregivers to share their stories, and explains how AARP Ohio is fighting for Ohio's 1.5 million family caregivers.
