In today’s digital age, we probably often ask ourselves, “What can I do to protect myself and my family further from fraud and scams?” While we know we can’t absolutely, 100% protect ourselves from those trying to get our personal information and money, following these five recommendations will help.

Chances are, if you aren’t a family caregiver, you know someone who is. Every day, more than 820,000 Washingtonians help their parents, spouses, siblings, grandparents, neighbors and other loved ones to live independently at home – where they want to be.
The past year was a tumultuous one, with older adults caught in the crosshairs of a global pandemic that laid bare several issues that must be immediately addressed through state legislation. As you read this article, the 2021 90-day legislative session is off to a running start. On behalf of our more than 900,000 members across the state, AARP Washington is committed to improving outcomes in several issue areas important to Washington’s older adults and their families.
Their plan is to control your attention, and to control you... any way they can. They want to get you on the phone, and they’re calling from boiler rooms, studio apartments, and even prison cells from around the world. They want to sign you up for useless tech support or warranties. They ask for cash, or maybe try to go straight for direct access to your personal bank account.
Just over 735,000 Washingtonians have no internet service. That's why AARP Washington is working with the state on “shovel-ready” projects to boost access to high-speed internet, especially in rural areas of the state.
While 2020 was a year filled with uncertainty, municipalities and community organizations across Washington still managed to put older residents’ needs front and center. We welcomed two cities - Tacoma and Renton - to the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, joining our previous cities of Seattle and Puyallup. Several non-profit agencies also received grants to address crucial pandemic-related issues, such as food insecurity and telehealth.

The holidays are here, but unfortunately so are the con-artists looking for opportunities to spoil your celebrations. They are more than willing to use the joyous mood to get into your wallet. But with a little preparation and vigilance, you can cut down on the threat of becoming a scam victim.
Health, wealth and self are the main subjects of AARP Washington’s new podcasts, available online and on popular program platforms.
The science is clear: emotional support matters — especially as we age.
