In Ohio, state volunteers champion legislative changes on critical issues, including support for family caregivers, brain health, fraud prevention and financial security for older adults.
The Credit for Caring Act, if enacted, would offer up to a $5,000 nonrefundable federal tax credit to help offset family caregiving-related expenses, such as home care aides, adult day services, home modifications and respite care.
Taking care of those we love comes naturally. Today more than 1.7 million Ohioans are caregivers for their family or friend. AARP invites you to a celebration of this important role, featuring Oscar® and multi-Grammy® winning singer, songwriter and actress Regina Belle, who will share her own powerful story of strength.
It’s been just about two weeks since I attended the AARP Ohio 2018 Volunteer Summit and I’m still feeling the excitement. A fellow Cincinnati volunteer had to convince me to make the trip and I’m glad she did.
