Grassroots “Villages” for aging in community are “sprouting up” here in Albany County!

It’s helpful to think of a “Village” as a plan, not a specific place. Older adults want to live home in their later years and joining a ‘Village” network-where members support each other-can help make it a reality.

Community Caregivers is a leader in promoting age-friendly policies and community engagement in our region.

How does Community Caregivers fit in the Village Movement?

As partners in the emerging Village Movement here in Albany County, we offer information sessions and guidance on the Village concept. We offer:

• Presentations on the Village Movement 101 and how to get started
• Volunteer opportunities through Community Caregivers
• A way for you to get involved

With an established record of service since 1994, we’ve learned a thing or two about coordinating needed services-like transportation and grocery shopping-with a volunteer network and offering caregiver support. Contact us to learn more.
