Helping Seniors Live Independently and with Dignity

What the AgeWays does is simple: We help people access the programs and services they need to live independently and with dignity in their own homes or with family caregivers. We do that in lots of ways–by bringing a warm meal and friendly face to the door of a homebound senior via our Meals on Wheels program, by providing the in-home support an older adult needs to stay in the home she loves, or giving a caregiver the knowledge she needs to be there for a parent with Alzheimer’s disease – or a break to recharge. Meet some of the people we help below. They inspire us, and we’re sure they will inspire you too!

 


Megan’s Story: Being There for Her Dad

Megan is a 32-year old IT consultant who took an analytic approach to caring for her 72-year old father with Alzheimer’s. She joined an AgeWays Creating Confident Caregivers class and learned all she could. Megan says the class taught her what to expect as the disease progresses and to seek help and take care of herself.
