2009 marked HESSCO's 32nd  anniversary.  Over the years, we have seen many changes to types and variety of services provided to meet the changes of a growing elder population. 
 
As we look forward to the coming years, we are expanding our view of elder services and embracing the coming age of Baby Boomers and their redefinition of being a "senior". 
 
We understand that this group is not the traditional elder of years past.  Today, this is a population expanding the definition of retirement and taking on an increased role in the care of those around them, be it aging parents or grandchildren. 
 
HESSCO supports this broadened experience of later life and retirement through our work with area Councils on Aging and local businesses.  We are focusing on supporting these "new seniors" in a way that provides opportunity for continued community involvement, support in their role as caregiver and provides a view of services that allows seniors to advocate and define their needs as they continue to age in the community. 
 
HESSCO views itself as a community partner, personally with each consumer and programmatically with area agencies and organizations who share our vision of offering the community care, support and solutions throughout the aging and caregiving process.
