The "Seniors Village Hub" Movement
This document describes the "Seniors Village Hub" Movement and lists more detailed information and resources as compiled by Peter Kenyon, Bank of I.D.E.A.S. Australia (March, 2019)
Studies reveal that 3 out of 4 adults 50+ years want to remain in their homes, streets and communities as they age. The “Seniors Village Hub” movement is a grassroots response to this overwhelming desire of most people to ‘’age in place’’ and continue living independently for as long as possible and engage socially within the local community.
The “Seniors Village Hub” is simply a local ‘’mutual support” network that enables people to live independently in their own homes with access to a network of support including volunteer services, trusted business referrals, social connection and community engagement.
