Caregiving

Millions of Americans are caring for an older parent or loved one, helping them to live independently at home – where they want to be. These caregivers have a big job but we can help with some basic support—and commonsense solutions—to make their big responsibilities a little bit easier. That’s why AARP urges state lawmakers to pass Senate Bill 6327, known as the Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE) Act and help family caregivers as their loved ones go into the hospital and as they transition home.

Thinking ahead... is your home and community a place where you could stay involved with the people and places you love?

Why should women, in particular, care about these things?
