For the latest on topics from family caregiving to disaster preparedness to fighting fraud, AARP members and others can tune in to Insights by AARP Oregon, a new monthly podcast.
The 2025 Age-Friendly Oregon Summit brings together policy makers, advocates for older adults and people with disability, livability and intergenerational advocates, and diverse Oregonians interested in making Oregon a great place for people of all ages and abilities.
It usually starts small – perhaps running a few errands or preparing some meals. Maybe you don’t even see yourself as a caregiver yet. Sometime the changes can be sudden and dramatic. But as your loved ones age, they may need more help. And, perhaps you will too. A little planning ahead can make a big difference in your life. Join AARP Oregon and community partners for upcoming educational forums to help maximize future independence and quality of life.
Did you know that people who volunteer are happier and have better health? Research shows that volunteers have more meaningful connections in their community and experience greater life satisfaction. That’s why we are excited to invite you to join us at two upcoming events to learn about volunteering in your community.
It’s a fact: as we get older our needs change. Sometimes the very things that made a house a home in our youth become daily hurdles as we age. AARP Livable Oregon recently talked with Nancy Tanner about her move with her husband to a community more suited for their changing needs.
