Changing the Face of Aging: The old face of aging was the fear of getting old. The new face is hope and promise. The old face of aging was loneliness and isolation. The new face is companionship. The old face of aging was institutionalization. The new face is home. Working with seniors and their families humbles us. We can’t help but feel a sense of responsibility to give back. To truly live our mission, we give generously and serve graciously.
