Agency Goals
The overall goal of the agency is to develop a wide range of
bilingual services to help meet the essential needs of elderly persons
who come from diverse Latin American backgrounds, are low income,
possess limited English speaking skills, and have received little
education. the services we provide enable the elderly clients we serve
to sustain themselves, to improve their quality of life and to maintain
their independence.
Latino elderly as a whole have missed out on financial gains made by
other U.S.senior citizens. A recent study shows that a high number
(22%) exist below the poverty line and (19%) receive neither a pension
nor social security benefits.
