“I’m an 82-year-old widow, determined to continue aging in place, though living alone. Just as I was beginning to feel anxiety-what to do about outdoor winter work, I learned about Portland Area Villages. The needs their services cover are broad. Simply knowing that this wonderful volunteer community is out there, ready to help: that’s a relief. Enough to make me feel at ease. Reassured.”

“Portland Area Villages is a wonderful experience. The drivers and volunteers are positive and caring. Everything is very timely and done well. It’s a chance to be part of a new network in Portland that will give a sense of community over time.”
~ Karen, age 68
“It’s wonderful to be part of an Aging in Place Village. I hope seniors will be able to take full advantage of all that is offered to them. Staying in your own home is the primary goal.”
