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.
