WHAT IS BRIDGE VILLAGE?

We are a new Senior Village in Grant County.  It is our mission to empower adults 60+ to remain connected to community and thrive.  

The Power of Community!!

Bridge Village is a member-driven nonprofit organization addressing the current challenges of aging. Our village is enriching lives by providing the connections, education, support and resources seniors desire as they age in place in their chosen communities.

WHAT IS THE VILLAGE MOVEMENT?

The village movement is an innovative movement that has emerged in the last decade in the organizational field of support services for community-dwelling older adults (Prof. A. Scharlach, UC Berkeley). The village movement is one of the most viable options to let our society cope with the upcoming “Revolution Aging”

We look beyond conventional solutions. We wanted more freedom and control than we found in models that focus on single issues, such as housing, medical care, or social activities. We wanted to be active, taking care of ourselves and each other rather than being “taken care of.”

 

A PROVEN MODEL

 

Beacon Hill, proved that seniors wanted to get together around local villages, help each other and be part of an active community of seniors. A model so promising, that now over 300 villages have sprung up all across the nation and many others are in the works.
