Washington voters face a decision on the November about the WA Cares long term care program.
A 'yes' vote causes direct harm to patients, Nurses Association says
I-2124 would make the long-term care program unsustainable, denying many needed funds later in life.
Making a difference doesn't stop as you age. Millions of older adults are using their experience to give back, to solve problems, and to change lives. The AARP® Purpose Prize® award honors extraordinary individuals who use their lived experiences to make a better future for all.
A big thank you to all our volunteers who worked so diligently to review more than 70 Community Challenge grant applications from organizations across Washington State. It is a daunting task since so many groups are working to create communities for all ages.
Washington's "Caring for Caregivers" video podcast series features discussions with local experts, community leaders, and caregivers just like you on a range of topics to help you along your caregiving journey.
We know that it takes time to build great communities. But we also believe that tangible improvements can spark long-term change. AARP launched the Community Challenge grant program in 2017 to fund projects that build momentum to improve livability nationwide. We are excited to announce the program is back in 2024 for its eighth year and is currently accepting applications online through March 6, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT.
In 2021, 820,000 family caregivers in Washington state provided $16.8 billion worth of unpaid care, donated 770 million hours of their time, and spent an average of $7,200 out of their own pockets to care for their loved ones when they faced a serious long-term illness, injury or disability. Here are some of their stories and reasons for supporting Washington's long-term care insurance benefit.
At AARP, we never underestimate the power of 50+ voters. In fact, 1.8 million Washington voters over 50 cast ballots in the 2022 elections. In early April, we thought we were being ambitious when we ordered 10,000 postcards to distribute to volunteers for personalized messages to drive the older vote.
