AARP Iowa is taking its show on the road over the next two weeks to talk about caregiving issues with Iowans across the state ahead of the 2019 Iowa legislative session, which is set to begin on January 14. One of the big issues up for discussion is the Iowa CARE Act, which outlines commonsense steps to help Iowa’s more than 317,000 family caregivers when their loved one goes into the hospital and as they transition home. In addition, AARP Iowa will discuss findings from a soon-to-be-released statewide caregiver survey.

Lately, scammers have been spoofing phone numbers of banks, doctor's offices and other official agencies. Spoofing means that a scammer's phone number will show up on your caller ID as an official number. Scammers have been doing this with the 1-800 number for the Social Security Administration (SSA) to try and collect vital personal information from people in order to steal their identities.

Ya llegaron los días festivos. Y con ellos, el tiempo de comprar regalos especiales para nuestra familia y amigos. Pero también es el momento de estar alerta para evitar convertirte en víctima de una estafa. Desafortunadamente, los estafadores merodean en nuestras comunidades y en el Internet en búsqueda de víctimas, pero si te mantienes alerta, puedes proteger tu información personal y tu bolsillo.

Here is the 2019 Chapter Regional Call Schedule. We hope you will take the opportunity to join this monthly conversation and share ideas and best practices with Chapter leader colleagues in your AARP region. If you have any questions, please contact the Volunteer Helpline at volunteer@aarp.org or 1-866-740-7719.

Despite my battered body, non-functioning hands that make taking meds a challenge, and wheelchair mobility, I fulfill my long-time desire to act. . . as long as it’s the Readers Theatre – where the short-term memory loss of an 85 year old and the inability to move around in a set, doesn’t hamper the smooth performance of a play.
