April is National Volunteer Month, a time to recognize the people who make aging at home possible.

For many older adults, a volunteer may be the only visitor they see all day. A short conversation, a warm meal, a simple check-in, it all adds up to something bigger.

Connection. Dignity. Independence.

That’s the difference volunteers make every day.

A major population shift is coming, and it will impact all of us.

By 2030, 1 in 4 Arkansans will be age 65 or older. In a recent letter to the editor in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, CareLink CEO Luke Mattingly outlines what this means for our state, and why action cannot wait.

We 💚 our volunteers!

The Tempus team volunteered with seniors at the West Central Community Center through CareLink playing pickleball, chair volleyball, and more. And yes, we got beat every time! 😄

We make it a priority to volunteer together each quarter. It’s time we value to grow stronger as a team while staying connected to the community we’re proud to be part of.

Luck is nice. Support is better. 🍀

For many older adults, it’s not luck that keeps them safe, fed, and independent. It’s access to services like Meals on Wheels, HomeCare, and caregiver support.

This St. Patrick’s Day, you can be someone’s good fortune.

By 2030, 1 in 4 Arkansans will be age 60 or older. The state may not be ready.

Demand for meals, transportation, caregiver support, and other aging services is rising quickly. Across the country, 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day.

At the same time, funding has not kept pace with inflation. Today it takes about $1.30 to buy what $1.00 purchased in 2017, meaning the buying power of aging services like CareLink has steadily declined.

This THV11 story highlights growing concerns among senior advocates across Arkansas.

The good news is this challenge is not insurmountable. With thoughtful planning and stronger investment in services that help older adults age at home, Arkansas can meet the moment. But preparation must start now.

Some senior service groups in Arkansas say they're struggling to keep up with the demand that's growing faster than their funding.
