Aging in Place: A Talk on the Village Movement @ MJCC
Jun 15 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm

Do you know someone who wants to age in their own home?  Come learn about River West Village. Part of the Village Movement, which started in Boston 15 years ago, we help people age at home by bringing services to them. A nonprofit membership organization, not a real estate development or retirement community, we depend on grants, donations and membership dues for finances and on recruiting intergenerational volunteers for services like helping seniors with shopping and transportation.  Perhaps most importantly, we build community through activities such as potlucks, educational outings and coffee clubs. More than 200 villages nationwide are open with another 150 in development. River West Village launches October 1.
