CarePartners is dedicated to providing support, education and resources to family caregivers and their loves ones. AARP is tirelessly working for Texans age 50+ and their families. AARP helps Texans turn their dreams into real possibilities, works to make communities more livable, fights for retirement security and supports family caregivers. We teamed up to provide several online educational resources including tips for a long-distance caregiver, how to access the AARP Prepare to Care Guide, and several stories from family caregivers about their journeys.
