New AARP Report Finds Nearly Nine in Ten U.S. Adults Have Experienced Fraud

AARP Vermont has awarded Winter Placemaking Grants to eight organizations across the state to support creative, inclusive programming that fosters community connection and combats social isolation among older adults during the coldest months of the year.

From medical bills to utilities, making ends meet can be a struggle.  Yet, many benefits available to older Americans go untapped. 

November is National Family Caregivers Month, a chance to recognize the contributions, commitment, and sacrifices made by America’s 63 million family caregivers every single day.

The Andrus Award is the organization's highest honor.

AARP Vermont recently released findings from an April 2025 survey conducted by ANR Market Research of Burlington adults aged 45 and older. The results reveal a community deeply committed to staying put—81% want to remain in Burlington as they age—yet face mounting challenges that could push them out. High property taxes, rising utility bills, aging housing stock, and limited mobility options are making it harder for residents to maintain their independence and stay in the neighborhoods they call home.

The annual program aims to make communities in Vermont more livable for people of all ages
