"I'd like to give 10 stars to this organization.
Everyone there is friendly and helpful.
We are new to the area and just starting with Medicare. I do not know how we would have dealt with all of the bureaucracy without their help.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg! They can help with so many facets of retirement and volunteer opportunities! I am anxious to see what all we can do with them after we settle into Grand Junction!
Every town should have a program like this!"

Grand Junction Resident
