Join the movement to make Anchorage a city for all ages! Age-Friendly Anchorage, sponsored by AARP Alaska, is a volunteer-powered effort to ensure everyone—no matter their age or ability—can live, work, play, and thrive in our community.
With more than 58,000 veterans calling Delaware home, AARP has a long history of supporting those who have served in the U.S. armed forces, and we take pride in helping them navigate life’s transitions. Caring for a veteran or service member is meaningful work, but it can also be challenging. Every caregiving journey is unique, and AARP is here to help. We offer free resources and community programs designed to support military families and caregivers. These include guidance on health care and housing, fraud protection, career training, job search assistance, and family caregiving.

Introduced by Representatives Nguyen and Bliss, H.B. 2653 revolutionizes the standard of care in assisted living facilities, protecting the rights and well-being of residents, families, and care providers.
If we really want to keep ourselves - and our money - safe from fraud, we must all come to terms with one thing: our personal information is likely already out there. Many entities have our personal information – credit card and bank account numbers, Social Security numbers, and health-related information – and data breaches have most likely exposed it. So, what can we do to protect ourselves after the fact?
