This May brings the first inaugural AAHSA Homecoming. This exciting event is an opportunity for you to showcase what you do day-to-day and the benefits you provide to your larger community.
Open your doors and invite your community and your elected officials to learn about your work and meet your community’s treasures: the people you serve. Host an open house, introduce them to your residents over a meal or coordinate a staff community service project. Whatever you do, this is your chance to showcase how you make your community a better place to live.
Use your AAHSA Homecoming event to highlight your community involvement and Quality First programs. Talk about your activities and commitment in your speeches and mention them in your event materials. AAHSA Homecoming is about celebrating your residents/clients and sharing all that you do, so don’t be afraid to mention any and everything.
When your organization gets involved in the community-at-large, it enhances the quality of life of the people you serve and the people in the local community. By celebrating your residents/clients and your good work at your AAHSA Homecoming event, you are doing just that.

Here’s another good idea: pass out copies of the “Consumer’s Guide to Quality Aging Services” at your event. There’s bound to be people there who want to know more about how to find a quality provider for themselves or their loved ones.
It’s also a great way to show your commitment to empowering people to find highest-quality care and services that are right for them. Who knows? It could be your organization!
