AARP unveils groundbreaking new data from Caregiving in the U.S. 2025 — the most comprehensive national study of family caregiving, now expanded for the first time to include state-by-state analysis. The report provides a vivid portrait of the 63 million Americans caring for loved ones and reveals how geography fundamentally shapes the caregiving journey, from who provides care and how intensely, to the financial hardships families face, the resources that help them cope, and how state policies, demographics, and health systems influence the caregiving experience.
Attending journalists will receive the full dataset and state-specific profiles, with opportunities for one-on-one interviews and local story development.
Speakers:
- Rita Choula, Senior Director, Caregiving, AARP Public Policy Institute
- Alan Weil, Senior Vice President for Public Policy, AARP
