As 2025 draws to a close, AARP Virgin Islands proudly celebrates a year of meaningful advocacy, delivering strong protection and support for older adults and their families. Through strategic collaboration with lawmakers and community partners, AARP VI advanced key legislation that enhances safety, health, and caregiving across the territory.
“We need to ensure that our aging population can live their remaining years safely and with dignity,” said Troy De Chabert-Schuster, State Director, AARP VI. “This year’s legislative victories reflect our commitment to improving quality of life for older Virgin Islanders.”

For many, Christmastime is the happiest part of the year. And a very important part of the season’s celebrations is, of course, FOOD!!!! We all want to relish in our most local and typical dishes. Not only sweets, but the entire gamut of our local rich cuisine.
For that reason, I picked a simple recipe to share with AARP; one that is not only Crucian, but Caribbean (ESPECIALLY Jamaican) and Puerto Rican! It’s SALTFISH FRITTERS. Hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful Christmas season!!!!

On November 25, 2025, Acting Governor Tregenza A. Roach, Esq., signed the unanimously approved Caregiver Leave Act (Bill 36-0086) into law. This legislation represents a significant advancement, ensuring that all full-time employees of the Government of the Virgin Islands, including those working with independent boards, commissions, and agencies, receive four hours of administrative leave each month. This leave is intended to help them manage essential caregiving responsibilities for a seriously ill spouse, child, parent, or any legal dependent.

Caregiving is a natural part of the cycle of life. Allowing ourselves space for self-care is one of the most important tasks in our curriculum for living. When was the last time that you set out on an adventure of deep self-care? At its core caregiving is an ever-evolving cycle of balancing self-care and caring for others. Sadly, limited attention is provided across media platforms, about the necessity of caregiving and self-care.
