Abstract

Pennsylvania is the 4^th oldest state in the nation and more than 1.6 million people care for older parents, spouses or other loved ones, helping them to live independently in their own homes. Both AARP and the SeniorLAW Center are working together to support caregivers, their families and loved ones. Angela Foreshaw, Manager of State Operations and Community Outreach at AARP Pennsylvania and Nora Dowd Eisenhower, Director of Pro Bono Action for Community Impact at SeniorLAW Center will discuss some of the systemic responses to these realities, including the CARE Act, and guides to financial caregiving.

3. List the leaders in supporting older people Pennsylvania are and how can we collaborate across sectors to insure successful outcomes.
