Villages are community-based, non-profit organizations that address
the rapidly growing demand among baby boomers and the elderly to
remain living in their own homes among friends and neighbors while
also fulfilling their health care needs related to aging. Each Village
is customized to local needs and preferences providing services and
discounts on anything from groceries and health care to repairs and
transportation assistance. Additionally, Villages organize a host of
social activities. To date, Villages have sprouted up in over 40
communities nationwide.
