Caregiving
When District of Columbia resident Ingrid Swinton got an eviction notice in September 2022, she didn’t know how she would be able to fight it without a lawyer—something she could not afford.
No matter where you are in the caregiver journey, these local agencies and organizations can help make the process easier. AARP developed this family caregiver guide with you, the caregiver, in mind and as a starting point to help you find the services and support you might need throughout your journey.
For 31 years, many of Washington’s low-income, long-term care recipients were allowed to keep only $70 of their monthly income to pay for their personal needs—from haircuts to clothes to hygiene products. The rest went to help pay for their nursing home or other care.
AARP District of Columbia salutes those who have served and still serve. We support our veterans and their families with information on career support, caregiving resources, community connections and more.
Caring for a parent, spouse, or other loved one can be a 24/7 job that is emotionally, physically and financially difficult. That’s why AARP works tirelessly to support family caregivers, striving to make your big responsibilities a little bit easier.
Do you know ways to help keep your aging loved ones from losing money to scams and fraud? We’ll share important information that could help you keep them safe during our free webinar.
