Caring for a parent, spouse or loved one can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. - Do you spend several hours per week helping a loved one with housekeeping, driving, grocery shopping, medical care or finances? - Do you sometimes put the needs of your loved one before your own? - Are you overwhelmed with the responsibility of caring for a loved one along with work and other aspects of your life? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you could use some help. We invite you to share your caregiving story so that AARP Virginia can share them with our elected officials and they can do something about it. Explore all of our activities
