Oklahoma Caregiver Resource Guide

More than 524,000 Oklahomans care for older parents, spouses and other loved ones so they can live independently in their homes and communities. These unpaid family caregivers provide 488 million hours of care valued at a staggering six billion dollars annually, according to AARP Oklahoma, the nonprofit and nonpartisan advocacy organization for Americans 50 and older.

Right now, there are an estimated 524,000 family caregivers in Oklahoma providing 488 million hours of care. That equals about $6 billion in unpaid care annually for older parents, spouses and other loved ones to help them stay at home—and out of costly institutions. That's why AARP Oklahoma fights for commonsense solutions to give our caregivers support, resources, training and more.
