AARP's Caregiver Resources - especially during COVID-19

"Together We Can Fight For You and Your Loved Ones"

Across the country, AARP is working with governors, state legislators, and community partners to take commonsense steps to support America’s 40 million family caregivers — who help their older parents, spouses and other loved ones to live independently at home.

En espaƱol | Being a family caregiver is one of the most important jobs you’ll ever have—and one of the most challenging. The role can be frustrating, satisfying, exhausting, joyful, thankless and everything in between. That’s why we've put together these targeted, easy-to-use guides to help you find support, make tough decisions and handle conflict during your caregiving journey. Whether it’s your first time being a caregiver or you’re a pro; caring from afar or in your own home – AARP has you covered with resources and tips for people like you!

AARP maintains extensive online (and printed) supports for caregivers. During this time of social distancing it can make being a caregiver even more complicated.
Take the time to visit the AARP Caregiver website and take advantage of their amazing resources. You don't even need to be a member!
