AARP Pennsylvania

Reimagining the possibilities of life for Pennsylvanians
With Pennsylvania’s general election just 47 days away, data from AARP shows that voters age 50 plus decide elections, and they want politicians to address the issues that matter most to them and their families.
Each year, AARP works in partnership with local leaders, organizations, and dedicated residents to help make that vision a reality. As part of that effort, AARP is excited to announce the largest investment of grant dollars to date through the AARP Community Challenge grant program. More than $3.8 million in quick-action grants are being distributed to 343 projects across all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
AARP Pennsylvania recently released key findings from its first 2024 election survey that shows candidates should pay close attention to Pennsylvanians age 50 and older. The survey also revealed that the priorities and concerns of Pennsylvania women voters 50 and older will likely influence the outcome of the 2024 election and could be the difference in this election.

As Labor Day Weekend approaches, things are slowing down in the Capital. One meeting that took place before the holiday weekend centered around long-term services and supports (LTSS). Many people only think of nursing home care when they hear the term long-term services and supports, but home health care, family caregiving, adult day services, home modifications, and a host of other community-based services are all a part of this system.
Smorgasbords are the Pennsylvania Dutch Country version of an all-you-can-eat buffet, with lots of desserts. Keep that image in mind as you read this week’s smorgasbord of news from the State Capitol….
