“The Village Model: A Neighborly Way to Age in Place”
|
|
We all want to be independent and in control of our lives for as long as possible—preferably until the day we die. But independence doesn’t always pan out; illness or injury can strike suddenly and make life alone impractical. And as our worlds shrink, living alone can start to feel lonely—and loneliness, researchers say, can kill.

We would like everyone to attend a training as it will also provide an orientation to our Village and our website.
You must complete a quick online background check prior to attending the training and we can help you do in just 10 minutes.

“There was an interesting aspect of the museum in that it used to be the home of the Masons. A little known fact is that there were something like 200 Jewish Masons in the group’s heyday. We even found an old piece of art from the Masonic days which included Hebrew.” - Sue Rosenblum
