🌟 Pete's Incredible Journey: From Isolation to Independence 🌟

Meet Pete, a proud Californian who faced significant challenges after suffering heart attacks in 2008. He ended up in a Skilled Nursing Facility and lost his subsidized apartment, leading to 12 years of isolation and depression. But with the help of the Institute on Aging, Pete's life took a remarkable turn.

We specialize in transitioning individuals back into the community, and Pete's story is a shining example. With our support, he moved into a beautiful Senior Housing apartment in January. Today, he's thriving, decorating his apartment, and enjoying a newfound sense of independence. 🏑
