Success Stories

“I was filling out the Medicaid Application for a family member and between that, and all the unknowns that go with that, I was overwhelmed… Heritage Area Agency on Aging warmly welcomed me in and with the support and assistance that they provided, I now feel educated and on track. What a great resource!!”

Sandy S.

“I was sick, I couldn’t help myself, and [my son and his girlfriend] took advantage of that. I went to the hospital for a head injury after he hit me, and they stole all my money while I was there. But I’m thankful the people I needed were there for me. [Heritage staff] Uriel and Laura truly care about what they’re doing and who they’re helping. Uriel even got me in touch with my niece back home and helped me video call her. That helped me know I have family I can trust back home and that’s where I want to be when I recover.”

AnonymousElder Rights Program

“They’ve just been a miracle for me. A blessing… What I like is the way they treat you. They treat you not like a client across a desk, but like family in the way they talk to you and present themselves, but yet they’re always very professional about it. The help that I got was over, above and beyond. I honestly don’t know how I would’ve got on my feet if not for Heritage. They helped heal me, to feel like there are people out there who actually care. They actually do mean it.”

“Heritage is a life-saver to those of us who need a good meal every day!”

PattyEncore Café diner

“My dad lost his wife of 67 years. At Encore Café at least once a week he gets to have a good, healthy meal with socialization. It means the world to him and to me. I see firsthand what his program does and I worry for him just a little less! Thank you for all you do!”

JillCaregiver

“Encore Café is a lifesaver for us. We enjoy the good, healthy food we wouldn’t have otherwise. It’s a blessing. We are very thankful for the staff and volunteers that care enough to be here for us.”
