What's being done at the legislative level to promote and protect the needs of people over 50 years old? In this class, you will learn more about AARP's current legislative priorities  and how you can take action. The issues are ever-changing but tend to center on financial security, access to health care and the needs of family caregivers. AARP works with the state and federal government to ensure policies address the needs of people age 50-plus. Citizen volunteers engage in educational forums to learn about the issues and take a variety of measures to influence opinions of our leaders and the public. 

There’s no place like home…and the information you gain from this class will help keep you there. Chris and Laurie Kemp will provide you with two booklets, and discuss them in class.

The second booklet will help you evaluate your home and put together a care plan for aging in place. It will also help you evaluate how well it is working, and cover creating a Plan B if aging in place is not working.
