Give Back to Your Community With AARP!
More than 48 million Americans, including 74,000 here in the District, are family caregivers. It is one of the most important jobs we will ever do, and one of the most difficult. Family caregivers help their older parents, spouses and other loved ones live independently – managing medications, preparing meals, helping with bathing and dressing and so much more.
Throughout 2024, AARP DC continued to advocate for policies to empower District residents to improve their lives and choose where and how they live as they age. AARP DC has a long history of supporting older District residents who want to live independently as they age. This year, AARP DC fought for issues that matter most to seniors, their families and caregivers.

“On behalf of our 1.8 million members across the Commonwealth, I thank Governor Shapiro for prioritizing older Pennsylvanians in his budget proposal, which recognizes the urgent need for stable fiscal support of the services and programs that help them remain living in their homes and communities as they age. From ensuring safe and affordable housing to investing in our healthcare workforce, from accessing reliable transportation to paying for rising energy prices and prescription drug costs, today’s spending plan proposal is a solid starting point and good news for older Pennsylvanians and their caregivers..."
