Aging in Place: "Virtual Retirement Villages" Seminar

What is a Virtual Retirement Village?

There is an exciting new concept sweeping the nation. It is the national Aging-in-Place movement. This is a new idea that is a practical means to helping people remain at home as they grow older. It is not a place or physical structure; but rather it is an association of neighbors working together. It is called Virtual Retirement Village and its purpose is to help adults stay in their homes and still have access to all the activities and services wanted now, as well as those that may be needed later.
