Villages Northwest
Neighbors Helping Neighbors Stay Neighbors
OUR MISSION: “To enable more Pacific NW residents to successfully age in place by developing and nurturing a network of sustainable, community-based Villages throughout the region.”
Today a 65-year-old is likely to live another 20 years. This generation's elders are not satisfied to spend their golden years on the sidelines, even when living with the challenges of aging. The national Village Movement is revolutionizing the experience of aging, empowering older adults to sustain independence and remain in charge of their lives.
For example, Darl has lived in her home for nearly 50 years. She loves the Village concept and enjoys the social activities because she does things she wouldn't do alone. As a volunteer she uses her lifelong acquired skills organizing the Senior Resources Fair and leading the Outreach team. Darl worries less now because she knows when she wants help with a sticky door or preparing her yard for winter, a villager will be right here to help her. This is a group she can age with.
VillagesNW, www.villagesnw.org, has brought the Village Movement to Portland with neighborhood based, virtual Villages.
