My Nonprofit Reviews

Our experience with Missoula Aging Services has gone full circle. 10 years ago I retired early to care for elderly parents and to help care for our grandkids. Initially, my mother-in-law moved to Missoula with Alzheimer’s. Two years later she passed and my mother of 92 years with short term memory loss moved to Missoula and lived to be 98. My husband was involved as well, while holding down a full time job. Little did we know the strain it could put on our relationship. But our relationship is stronger today because of the teamwork it takes to care for elderly parents.

In each case MAS was there to help us with health care insurance, taxes and other resources available to make our lives easier. It was comforting to know they were there for support. I would always walk away form MAS filled with gratitude for the community service they provide.

It has been almost two years of freedom from elderly care. My husband and I feel fortunate to know we were there for our parents in their last years, even though it was mentally draining.

So now we come full circle as we turned 65 this year and find ourselves asking MAS for guidance with Medicare! As usual, they guided us in the right direction and again, feel gratitude. Our story could have gone in a catastrophic direction without the support of Missoula Aging Services. We are fortunate to live in the Missoula community filled with so many resources to make living healthy and enjoyable. Missoula Aging Services is at the top of our list. THANKS!
