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.
Caring for a family member or close friend is one of the most important roles you’ll play. It may start with driving your loved one to get groceries or to the doctor. Later, you may take more time off from work, prepare meals, or handle bills. No matter where you are in the journey of family caregiving, having a good framework to help guide you and your loved one will make the process easier.
November is Family Caregiving Month and Military Family Month. As a family caregiver, you may be responsible for managing and administering lots of medication. If you have medications in your home that are no longer needed or expired, AARP Long Island encourages you to dispose of them safely this November.
AARP members and guests are invited to connect with us for a 4-part virtual series, Mental Exercise Through Chess. National Master John Michael Silvederio will guide players through the complex and exciting game of chess, with lessons that review the basic rules of play in an easy-to-follow format.
