Volunteers Help Seniors Age in Place with Community Support
WHILE FAMILIES OFTEN STRUGGLE when sending their elders to care centers, the whole community experiences a loss when its most seasoned members are unable to stay at home.
Westside Pacific Villages connects neighbors with neighbors to share skills and support each other, creating new possibilities as we age so we can all continue to live active, healthy, engaged lives in the homes and neighborhoods that we love.
WPV coordinates the efforts of its volunteers to provide many benefits including:
- transportation
- help around the house
- companionship
- social activities
- wellness programs
WPV is a member of the national Village to Village Network and Statewide Village Movement California.
The Village Movement started with the idea of coordinating people to assist aging citizens in their neighborhoods with everyday tasks. The ultimate goal of this support is to improve the quality of life for aging community members with continual growth, development, purpose, engagement and enrichment.
This work inspires a spirit of collaboration and helps people, especially older adults, maintain their connections to the larger community. WPV serves Westchester, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, Mar Vista, Culver City, Ladera Heights, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach and adjacent areas.
