Coming Soon: AARP Healthcare Provider Resource Hub

   

As healthcare providers, you understand the critical role family caregivers play in the recovery and well-being of patients.

Forty-eight million Americans are family caregivers, providing time-consuming and intense, unpaid care to older adults. They are navigating the hospital experience, providing complex care at home after discharge and overwhelmed with competing priorities and the fear of making a mistake.  

Healthcare professionals like you are central to supporting these family caregivers. When family caregivers are included as part of the care team, everyone benefits! Caregivers will feel more confident and connected to community services, patient outcomes can improve, and you'll see fewer discharge delays and costly readmissions.

This growing hub for healthcare professionals will equip you with insights, tools and promising practices that will help you improve the care experience for all.
