A Community of Support, Enrichment & Fun for our Alexandria Neighbors Ages 55+
OUR MISSION
Successfully Navigate Aging
AHA’s vision is to be an advocate for older Alexandrians to live safe, active and connected lives. Together, we share activities, programs and services, including access to needed assistance.
Steve & Pam
"AHA has been just an extraordinary resource for me in introducing me to the arts, culture, let alone new friends."
Jane
Roberta, David & Mandy
"We thought we would meet nice people, but we were not expecting the great friendships we have made. We love being part of an engaging, welcoming community. We will never leave."
Steve & Pam
Ruth
"I’m fortunate to have some family who live in the area. They help whenever they can. But there are times when I just don’t want to rely on them. It has been a source of great comfort to them that I have the AHA community to lean on for some extra help"
Helen
Bob & Michael
"Our mom was very independent and understandably wanted to stay in her own home—near her friends and the life she built. AHA was absolutely essential in allowing us to honor her desire to stay in her home."
Shannon, Natalie & Eric
Alan
"AHA is a fantastic organization. In my 15 years of association, I have made so many new friends and attended hundreds of fun events. It is fun to be in group and to age together."
Nancy
Babs & Elliott
"I volunteer for AHA because it makes me happy! I meet interesting people, do small things that make a big difference, can adapt to my schedule, and am becoming part of the Alexandria community!"
Karen
Ernie & Montsie
"I am so grateful for all the volunteer help AHA has provided to me, plus transportation to medical appointments. Having a genial driver to chat with en route makes the sometimes scary destination very relaxing and is much appreciated. Thank you. AHA's quick responses ease my anxiety."
Shirley
Mary Ann
“As a senior, I would be lost without AHA. When I call requesting assistance, they never fail to be there for me. Two wonderful AHA volunteers go walking with me weekly and we’ve now become close and caring friends.”

Upcoming Events

Join us for Goodwin Living’s StrongerMemory, a program to help improve your ability to retrieve memories. Past participants have noticed improvement in their ability to focus, find misplaced items and remember conversations.
You will be given a workbook to guide you. For 12 weeks (2/4-4/22), you will be encouraged to spend just 20 to 30 minutes a day reading aloud, writing, and quickly completing simple math problems in the workbook. You are also invited to join weekly support calls. In these Zoom calls, you can share your experience with others, give and get encouragement, and gather practical advice from one another.
The facilitator for the program is Roberta McGregor, EdD, MSN, RN, a Registered Nurse with over 30 years’ experience in acute care education and academia.

Join AHA and Duncan Library friends on Zoom for the Third Wednesday Book Club. February’s selection is Vera, or Faith by Gary Shteyngart.
Moving forward, the club will read a wide variety of books that are mutually agreed upon by the membership. The club reads fiction and nonfiction but tries to alternate between the two.
The person who suggests the book will lead the discussion of the book.
Register on AHA Hub or to the office: 703-231-0824 / aha@athomeinalexandria.org.
