The Open October events reflect just some of the member-led offerings that help create community and support older adults who are aging in place in the greater Pasadena area. Members also receive free one-on-one IT help, rides, help at home, temporary meal assistance, and friendly visits as needed.
Pasadena Village was established over ten years ago when a group of Pasadena residents began meeting to explore how they might help each other age in place successfully. They learned about Beacon Hill Village, a pioneer in the national Village movement, and began holding small gatherings in homes to talk about how they could make their lives the best they could be. Today Pasadena Village is made up of 130 older adults who are engaged in life through new friendships, meaningful experiences, involvement in the wider community, and in helping one another in a time of need.
If you know of an older adult who wants a community of support as they age, please visit www.pasadenavillage.org, email info@pasadenavillage.org, or call 626-765-6037.
