What is caregiver support at AARP?
There are 40 million family caregivers in the U.S., many of whom need helpful support or resources. AARP stands behind these unsung heroes, providing them with the tools and connections they need to help them care for their loved ones and themselves.
What do volunteers do to support family caregivers?
Volunteers support caregivers by providing helpful information and programming, and by linking them to a network of organizations that can help support a range of caregiving needs.
