Mission Statement

Our mission is to reimagine aging and community for older adults by supporting independent living in the places we call home. Our volunteers and members come together for events and celebrations, building new friendships, and supporting each other through the journey of getting older.

Description

Seaglass Village, which opened December 1, 2021, is a community of seniors in Marblehead, Nahant, and Swampscott helping each other maintain their independence. Seaglass Village was inspired by the Village Movement, which recognizes that older people want to remain in their homes, even though some errands, chores, and an active social life become harder as they age. For some, as daily life becomes a bit more difficult, the solution might be moving to a retirement or assisted-living community or hiring caregivers. For others, the solution can be a Village, which helps seniors live purposely, independently, safely, and socially in their own homes.
