Coming off Veterans’ Day, AARP Livable Communities highlighted a collection of AARP resources geared at supporting veterans and their families. This collection may be helpful to communities working to become more age- and dementia friendly to better engage and assist older veterans.
The collection includes a Health Benefits Navigator, Home Modification Guide, and a veteran-specific handbook on avoiding scams and fraud.
Check out the full list of AARP resources for veterans here.
The Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative has previously promoted additional resources such as the Older Veteran Behavioral Health Resource Inventory.
Other resources are always available through the Massachusetts Executive Office of Veterans Services here.
