Villages (of Senior Communities)

Villages, in the context of senior communities, refer to neighborhood-based support networks designed to help older adults live independently while remaining connected to their community. These organizations offer various services, such as social activities, transportation, and assistance with daily tasks, all coordinated by local volunteers or staff. Villages promote a sense of belonging and encourage active participation, allowing seniors to maintain their autonomy while accessing needed resources. This model fosters a supportive environment, enabling seniors to age in place and stay engaged with their peers and surroundings.
