"AHA has been just an extraordinary resource for me in introducing me to the arts, culture, let alone new friends."

"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."

"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"

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

“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.”
