AARP Alaska is offering four financial webinars on upcoming Fridays at 10 a.m. Here’s what’s on deck:
Some older low-income New Jerseyans are forced to go into nursing homes rather than get care at home because of red tape in the Medicaid program.
Nearly three-quarters of Vermont caregivers say they’ve experienced emotional stress from their responsibilities, and more than one-third say they’ve faced financial strain, according to a new AARP poll.
In the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, AARP Maryland volunteer Mary Angela Baker wanted to connect people who were feeling isolated. Her solution: a quarterly virtual book club featuring Maryland-related books.
AARP Kentucky recently appointed Madison County resident Gary W. Adkins—a former assistant commonwealth’s attorney and U.S. Army veteran—as the organization’s new volunteer state president.
The state’s Healthy Aging Grants program is helping to increase access to services that help older residents live independently at home for longer. It is distributing $40 million across the state—part of a broader effort to address the needs of a rapidly aging population.
Triad began in the late 1980s as a partnership between AARP, the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs’ Association. Now, there are local Triad chapters in cities and counties around the country.
Fraud against older adults has skyrocketed in recent years. In San Diego County alone, elder fraud resulted in roughly $97 million in losses in 2023, according to the FBI. The Elder Justice Task Force increases its efforts to fight back.
In 2023, Americans reported losing more than $10 billion to fraud—ranging from romance and investment schemes to gift card scams—according to Federal Trade Commission data. A new state law aims to protect older Americans from financial exploitation.
AARP Delaware is pushing a bill in the current legislative session to help educate the public about gift card scams.
