Advocating for South Dakota's Family Caregivers

State lawmakers return to Pierre in January, and AARP South Dakota will be advocating for increased resources for the state’s 80,000 family caregivers.

Four in 10 South Dakota voters age 50 and over have experience as family caregivers, according to an AARP survey. It found that a majority of older voters support paid leave for caregivers and increased funding for respite care.
