AARP Oklahoma

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, especially the AARP Oklahoma volunteers who advance the mission of AARP. Throughout communities across Oklahoma, AARP volunteers embrace the philosophy that it their responsibility is “To Serve, Not to Be Served”. We honor their service to community, our state and our country.

In Oklahoma approximately 530,000 family caregivers provided an estimated 440 million hours of care — worth a staggering $5.8 billion — to their parents, spouses, partners, and friends in 2017, according to state data available in the latest report of AARP's Valuing the Invaluable series. The complexity of family caregiving increases as medical and nursing tasks continue to enter the home, and family demographics change amidst an aging population.

A series of state laws aimed at protecting patients and improving the quality of care in nursing homes took effect on Nov. 1.
