2. You don’t live nearby and can’t visit your loved one as often as you wish. How do you advocate from afar?

“Eldercare managers, geriatric case workers, nurses and social workers are all good possibilities for providing such service. Do your homework to make sure you are selecting someone you can really trust."

It takes a "village" to care for seniors

1/16/2018

"Aging in place" is an oft-quoted ideal for seniors of all ages and stages.  But it takes a lot of personal, professional, and community resources to do so.  The Villages movement seeks to expand the idea by helping people "age in community".

NPR looked at the "village" movement for seniors last month in a four part series.  Villages are groups of seniors living in the community who come together to offer support and companionship to each other as they "age in place".

For an annual fee, Villages provide volunteers and vetted professional services like handymen, as well as sponsoring events, arranging assistance for members, and other services suited to each unique "village".
