The data is clear: if given the choice, most people prefer to grow older in their homes and familiar neighborhoods i.e., they want to “age-in-place.” But as we age accommodations often need to be made: Repairs or changes to the environment for safety concerns, assistance in the home for difficult tasks or personal care, or perhaps arrangements for transportation or social interactions that used to be taken for granted. In many communities, where clusters of individuals are growing older, “villages” have sprung up to allow seniors to share resources or get helpful suggestions from one another to ease the challenges that confront those aging in place. The Village to Village Network is a not-for- profit organization that helps set up these community villages, and that can help you locate one in your own community.
