Family Caregiving Facebook Conversation

Posted on 09/05/24 by Ronda Gooden

Family caregivers provide invaluable support

In observance of National Family Caregivers Month, AARP Mississippi will host a family caregiving conversation on the AARP Mississippi Facebook and YouTube pages at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 19. Topics include: Finding balance with caregiving, Resources and information for caregivers, and Caregiving during the holidays.

The unpaid care provided by the 470,000 caregivers in Mississippi is valued at $5.6 billion, according to state data available in AARP’s latest report in the Valuing the Invaluable series.

Family caregivers play a vital role in Mississippi’s health care system, whether they care for someone at home, coordinate home health care, or help care for someone who lives in a nursing home. AARP Mississippi knows that family caregivers need information and resources, in order to provide support for their loved ones.

Join us for this important conversation at 11 a.m. on the AARP Mississippi Facebook and YouTube pages at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 19.
