Newton at Home (www.newtonathome.org) is a nonprofit, membership-based organization designed to enable residents to age at home comfortably, safely, independently and with peace of mind. When Newton at Home opens, it will offer access to a large group of volunteers who will provide a variety of practical household services and social support services to its members. If volunteers are not available, Newton at Home will provide lists of approved and vetted vendors whose services will be discounted for members. NAH members will be encouraged to plan and become involved in a wide variety of educational and cultural events, social and wellness offerings. NAH is part of a national movement of “villages” that have sprung up across the country over the last few years. While each village is different, all are focused on providing a rich array of services and programs to help people, as they age, remain in their homes and their communities.
