AARP Hearing Center
AARP is fighting to save caregivers time and money and provide them with more support.
Across the country, AARP is working with governors, state legislators, and community partners to take commonsense steps to advocate for America’s 48 million family caregivers — who help their older parents, spouses and other loved ones to live independently at home.

Add Your Name and Join the Fight
When your loved ones need help, you’re there for them. But caregiving is hard work. You know the tremendous time and expense it takes to care for an older loved one, but do our leaders?
That's why we’re calling on lawmakers to help you and our nation’s 48 million family caregivers save time and money — and get more support.
But we need your help. We’re asking caregivers, and people who support caregivers, across the country to raise their hands and show lawmakers that they can’t ignore the needs of so many Americans.
