What is an "Aging In Place Village?"
A network of neighbors helping neighbors.
A "village" is a community that helps make it possible for people to stay in their own homes and communities as they grow older or less able.
Neighborhood residents create villages to help coordinate the delivery of services and support within their communities.
The village offers emotional, social, medical, and spiritual support, as well as help with the tasks of daily living.
This consumer and person centered approach can help delay or even prevent the need for more expensive institutional care.
