WHAT WE DO

NANA partners with many local, non-profit agencies focusing on the senior population in our area.  Meals on Wheels, local food banks, Serving Seniors and Veteran's Association's are just a few.

NANA holds a yearly, educational event that honors our social workers, offers CEU's, and educates our network on important topics that effect our senior population and/or our healthcare systems.

NANA provides  support and guidance to our local hospitals, nursing homes, personal care homes, home health and hospice by acting as a "concierge" to help their patients/clients in need of services of all kinds.

It was an honor to present Friends of the Poor 100-$25 Gerrity's Gift Cards to help adults 60 years and older with food.

2022 Santa "Paws" Fundraiser

NANA, in addition to our annual blanket and sock drive, raised money to purchase life-like pets to be donated to local facilities and agencies to older adults in need.
These pets bring calm and companionship to people with dementia and Alzheimer's and also for people near the   end-of -life.
With the help and support of many donors, a local school and hospital, we were able to purchase close to 40 pets.
