Anne Greenblatt, Neighbor

I have worked with a group of community volunteers to establish the Village Network of Petaluma as a non-profit, community membership organization to enable adults over age 50 to live active, vibrant, and connected lives in our own homes as we age. Villages are member-driven, and primarily supported by fees from their members. Think relationships, collaboration, sharing, support in navigating systems, and peace of mind.

The Village model is a cost-effective and trusted nonprofit community of mutual support among older adults living in the places we call home. The Village Network is not a residence. It has been successful in almost 250 other communities in the U.S., and we share best practices as well as pitfalls. We have many opportunities for social connection within interest groups, educational programs, and social events.

Members call one number for resource referral, friendly visits and check-ins, tech help, medical advocacy, minor household repairs, transportation, and opportunities to share one's special talents within the Village.
