Caregiving

No matter where you are in the caregiver journey, these contacts and resources will make the process easier

Welcome to AARP Michigan's dedicated hub for caregiving—a space designed to empower and support individuals navigating the intricate journey of caregiving.

Today, 63 million Americans — including our own Virgin Islanders — step up as family caregivers, helping older parents, spouses, and other loved ones live independently at home rather than in costly nursing homes. These everyday heroes hold up a broken long-term care system, managing medications, preparing meals, helping with bathing and dressing, and more. In the Virgin Islands alone, family caregivers provide thousands of hours of care each year, worth an exceptional amount in unpaid labor.

Nov. 4 to 11, shine a green light to raise awareness of veteran benefits and to show our veterans they are seen, heard, and supported.
