Welcome to AARP Michigan's dedicated hub for caregiving—a space designed to empower and support individuals navigating the intricate journey of caregiving. At AARP, we understand the profound impact that caregiving has on individuals, families and communities. We understand YOU. Whether you're providing care for a loved one or seeking guidance on navigating the challenges of caregiving, our resources and advocacy initiatives are here to offer valuable insights, expert advice, and support.

Caregiving is a deeply fulfilling role, but it can also take a significant toll—emotionally, physically, and financially. Many caregivers devote all their energy to the immediate needs of their loved ones, often putting their own financial security and wellbeing on the back burner. AARP Florida is here to help change that.

AARP Texas is seeking applicants for our next state president, a high-level volunteer position.
