Villages – Age-in-Place Supported Communities
What is a Village?
The Village concept is a growing grassroots movement that aims to provide the support that older adults may require when choosing to age-in-place. The idea is simple: neighbors helping neighbors. Villages help older adults stay in their communities by helping to coordinate and deliver services and sup-port within their communities.
Villages are membership-driven, grass-roots organizations run by volunteers and paid staff to coordinate villagers’ access to affordable services, including transportation, health and wellness programs, home repairs, social and educational activities and trips.
Villages provide critical neighbor-to-neighbor connections to combat social isolation, improve mobility and access to services, and provide knowledge and support necessary to empower seniors and others to be healthy and secure. The Village Coordinator provides guidance, support and resources to support the creation and sustainability of villages in communities across the County.
Montgomery County is committed to support local initiatives. Resources for active and developing villages are available at: www.montgomerycountymd.gov/HHS-Program/ADS/Villages/resources.html
