Pennsylvania just unveiled a game-changer for its 1.5 million unpaid caregivers: the PA CareKit. Launched by the Department of Aging, this new resource is packed with tailored guides, respite care connections, and essential tools designed to ease the burden on everyone from spouses to grandparents raising grandkids. As part of the state’s decade long “Aging Our Way, PA” initiative, the CareKit was shaped by caregivers themselves. With one in four Pennsylvanians already over 60, this couldn’t come at a better time. Free print kits will be available at libraries and senior centers, helping caregivers provide compassionate care without sacrificing their well-being.
