The “Village” concept began in a Boston neighborhood in
2002. A group of elders shared a vision for an alternative to the currently
available senior living situations and ways to stay in their homes as long as
they wished. Today, the Phinney/Greenwood neighborhood is exploring the idea of
how to create our own “Village”.
“Villages” are membership-driven organizations that
coordinate access to affordable services including transportation, health and
wellness programs, home repairs, social and educational activities, and other
day-to-day needs enabling individuals to remain active, independent and
civically connected to their communities throughout the aging process. They are
community based organizations that address the rapidly growing demand among
elderly to remain socially connected and fulfill their needs related to aging in
a setting of their choice.
You may have already attended a Village informational
meeting and know quite a good deal about the Village. You most likely have your
own reasons for your interest in the Village and are ready to begin planning for
the years ahead. For these reasons, we want to invite you a PNA Village
Leadership Visioning Meeting on Saturday, March 20th, from 9am to 12pm at the
GSC. We need your participation and input, coming from your personal
experiences, your creativity and your diverse interest to help outline the
process to develop the structure and the concept of our unique Village. This
will be an interactive opportunity to participate in the beginning conversation
of how you want the Village to look and to be. By coming to this meeting you
will directly have a hand in a program that will help to ensure your health and
well-being long into your life.
If you are interested in participating in this visioning process, please RSVP to
Marianne Rupp at Marianne@greenwoodseniorcenter.org, (206)297-0875, by March 15.
“Villages” tend to be membership-driven organizations
that coordinate access to affordable services including transportation, health
programs, home repairs, social and educational activities, and other day-to-day
needs enabling individuals to remain active, independent and civically connected
to their communities throughout the aging process. Since each “Village” is
unique and depends on the needs and desires of its members, we are holding a
series of informational meetings to assess the interests of our community.
Please join us for a meeting to find out more.
