Representatives of the North Carolina AARP met with Rep. Martin today to discuss several issues important to AARP members. In particular, the meeting focused on a program to assist family members who are caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients. Rep. Martin’s grandfather died of complications from early onset Alzheimer’s in 1974 and his grandmother was a caregiver for several years. “Helping caregivers in their work can postpone institutionalization of the Alzheimer’s victim,” said Rep. Martin. “This saves the state money and helps our citizens at the same time.”
