Just Starting Your Caregiving Journey? AARP Can Help

If you’ve found yourself helping a loved one more and more, driving to appointments, managing medications, or handling bills, you’re not alone. Many people become caregivers gradually, and it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin.

AARP’s Family Caregiving Guides are a good place to start. Each guide is designed to help you navigate caregiving, no matter where you are in the process. The guides walk you through how to:

• Find help and assess your loved one’s needs
• Start important family conversations
• Create or update a caregiving plan, including ways to care for yourself
• Deal with grief and plan for life after caregiving

AARP also offers a Pennsylvania-specific guide that connects you with local programs, caregiver support, and trusted state resources to make the journey a little easier.
