Ruth

AHA Member

"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"

AHA Member

Bob & Michael

AHA Members

"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."

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."

“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.”

Spring2ACTion Day!

Support AHA this Spring2ACTion! https://www.spring2action.org/organization/At-Home-In-Alexandria

For 15 years, At Home in Alexandria (AHA) has helped older adults age safely and independently in the homes and community they love. We believe aging should be filled with connection, dignity, and purpose. Through volunteer-driven transportation, social and educational programming, practical support, and meaningful personal connections, AHA fosters a community where older adults feel seen, valued, and supported. Together, we are reducing isolation, strengthening independence, and ensuring our neighbors can continue living where they feel most at home.

Why Give?
Alexandria’s population is aging, and more older adults want to remain in the homes they love. Staying independent takes a community. Without that support, isolation can take hold — leading to declining health, loneliness, and premature transitions away from the place they cherish.

When you give to AHA during Spring2Action, you are:

✔ Strengthening community
✔ Reducing isolation
✔ Supporting independence
✔ Showing older neighbors they matter

Be one of the Alexandrians who steps up today!

Stronger Memory

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.
