“I attended your session at the NE Library this past week and was impressed by both the concept and your energy and enthusiasm ... I do strongly support efforts to help elderly persons age in place, especially after having worked through the myriad of aging issues that have faced my own parents and grandparents.”

“As an estate planning and elder law attorney, NEST offers my clients valuable connections to their neighbors and the neighborhood.  Particularly as my clients age and seek to stay in their homes, they benefit from the interaction with a supportive community. NEST is the wave of the future and North East Seattle residents are lucky to be on the cutting edge of this new and important form of interdependent communication.”

-  Barbara West, Wedgwood

“Having had experience with Volunteer Chore Services, and as my mother has lived in the same home for 53 years in North Seattle, I know your efforts are on target and what a positive long-term impact NEST will have on the community for years to come.”
