Arthur has lived in his Metrowest home for 52 years. He enjoys watching baseball and hockey and has helpful neighbors who do yardwork for him. For four years, his JFS/MW home health aide, Justo, has come by to help him shower and dress.

"It's too difficult for me to get those socks on by myself," Arthur says, referring to elastic socks that improve the circulation in his legs. "If Justo weren't here, I'd just wear regular socks. But he puts on the good socks and even gives me a foot massage. That keeps me healthy."
