A Message from Our Executive Director

“I am tremendously grateful for Bacoa, its programs, services, activities, and support it provides for aging adults. I have witnessed the compassion that staff show to those who call on us for help. And I have seen the fun Bacoa staff has with participants in our activities.

I look at Bacoa as being the lifeline some of us search for when we are faced with scary and unexpected changes in our lives—and the friendly voice at the other end of the phone line when people call with questions.”
