AARP is launching a nationwide movement, I Am A Caregiver. To many lawmakers, America’s millions of caregivers are invisible. Yet, these family caregivers hold up a broken long-term care system, which is why AARP is looking for your help.
This August we’re focusing the Granite State’s 168,000 family caregivers. Join us August 19 for one of our FREE ice cream events for resources and conversation about how to support family caregivers on their caregiving journey! And, the free cone is on us!

From November 14 to December 8, 2024, AARP New York staff and volunteers conducted comprehensive walk audits across the state. The audit aimed to assess pedestrian safety and walkability at various intersections. Evaluators examined 160 intersections, focusing on the conditions of sidewalks, crosswalks, roadways, and crossing signals. The findings revealed that many intersections lacked essential pedestrian safety features, highlighting the need for improvements to ensure safer walking conditions for residents.
Whether you're a caregiver, someone who receives care—or both—you're welcome. We'll have piano music, a variety of teas, light refreshments, and some fun, low-key activities. It’s a chance to relax, connect with others, and enjoy a peaceful afternoon in good company.
