How does AARP work together with Wyoming 211
AARP and Wyoming 211 work together to connect individuals and families with caregiving resources across the state. Our trained 211 call specialists and ADRC navigators ask callers about their caregiving status to better identify needs and connect them with appropriate support services. Each response provides valuable data and insights that are shared with AARP on a monthly basis, helping both organizations better understand and address the needs of caregivers throughout Wyoming.
How can AARP connect me with finding caregiver support and resources?
AARP offers a variety of resources to help caregivers navigate the challenges of caring for a loved one. Through Wyoming 211, our ADRC navigators and call center specialists can connect you with relevant AARP programs, tools, and local support services.
AARP caregiver resources include:
- AARP Family Caregiving Support Line: Call 877-333-5885 (or 888-971-2013 for Spanish) to speak with a trained specialist.

Our trained staff can help you identify the resources that best fit your situation and connect you with available support for your caregiving journey.
Is AARP free?
AARP offers a wide range of free resources, programs, and advocacy efforts that benefit everyone, including protecting Social Security and supporting family caregivers. While AARP membership is not free, it is designed to be affordable, and many members find that just one benefit or discount can offset the cost of membership. In addition, every AARP membership includes a free secondary membership for another adult living in your household, allowing both individuals to enjoy member benefits and resources.
