MADISON, WISCONSIN – AARP Wisconsin today sent a message – literally – to the state’s top legislative leaders that Wisconsin’s nearly 600,000 residents who serve as unpaid family caregivers would benefit from two bills that will help them in their heroic work of caring for loved ones who want to continue living independently in their own homes and communities as long as possible.
