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.
Americans 50+ are the nation’s most powerful voting bloc – and it’s important we stay that way. The power of older voters is real, but many of them don’t vote in most midterm elections. In the 2016 Presidential Election, 2.9 million Ohioans age 50+ voted but in the 2014 Midterm Election, only 2.1 million Ohioans age 50+ voted. That’s a difference of almost 900,000 drop-off 50+ voters. AARP wants to change that.
