Home - Village to Village Network
Anyone else see this ? A great idea for those of us getting older (who isn't?) and wondering who will take care of us in later years.
I got interested in the show when this came on since I have 2 kids who both have their own lives and I never want them to take care of me. There is a nation wide movement to establish these "villages" so you can remain in your own home, yet have people around you to help you with everything from shopping, home repair, transportation, etc. The "village" in Boston area was the example. In addition, there are social opportunities to get together with others and stay alert. Beacon Hill is the one there, yet there are 70 others either up and running or in the planning stages.
Am looking into the one in Littleton CO, where I used to live.
