Are you familiar with the village concept? Villages are a ll about neighbors helping neighbors age in place. According to the Villa ge to Village network, local villages connect members to a wide array of pr actical support services and social connections that enable older adults to enjoy a rich, independent and healthy quality of life when they choose to age in their homes and communities. Villages build a sense of community and offer resources, services, programs and activities, including social and e ducational programs, health and wellness activities and volunteer assistanc e with transportation, light home maintenance, and technology coaching. Th e village movement started in Beacon Hill, MA about 25 years ago, and Capit ol Hill Village was the first village to open in DC (established 2007). The mission of the villages may be similar, but villages provide different ser vices and resources, based upon members’ needs. As the adage goes, “If you ’ve seen one village, you’ve seen one village.” We offer a monthly series t o enable our members to meet the leaders of the villages in the Washington, D.C. Metro area, and beyond.
Many SSA members may already be members and/or volunteers of their local Village. There are more than 30 villages within a 10-mile radius around Sibley Hospital. Sibley Memorial Hospital is located within the service area of Palisades Village – we are right next t o the catchment area of Little Falls Village, Northwest Neighbors village. The Cleveland & Woodley Park Village and the Glover Park Village are ju st a stone’s throw away. Join us to learn more about Metro area villages – what services they offer, how they have responded to the COVID pandemic, a nd what the future looks like. There will be time for questions and answer s.
