Berea Home Village

Berea Home Village Not for profit organization with a mission to enhance the lives of older Bereans living at home This becomes challenging and often impractical, as we age.

It's really true that there's no place like home, and for those of us who call Berea home, there is a deep and abiding affection for this special community. Many of us desire to stay rooted in Berea for the rest of our lives. Berea Home Village offers people an affordable option for staying in their own homes when transportation and household chores become difficult - the point at which many older

people have to leave their familiar surroundings. This innovative solution is perfect for those who wish to remain active, independent, and socially connected to their community. Villages are unique, locally determined communities where members can stay in their homes as long as possible. Members can be homeowners, renters, people sharing housing, or living with family. Members are supported by a network of caring volunteers who are trained. Members are supported by village recommended paid service providers. Membership is affordable ($300 per year/individual and $500 per year/household) and provides a social community, as well as practical services to meet changing needs. Some of the Member Services include:
Transportation to appointments and events
Assistance with errands
Phone check-in calls
Home safety/fall risk/emergency preparedness review
Limited technical assistance with computer, phone, television
Health and in-home care assessment
Social activities that are accessible and enriching

A link to member-recommended services for home repair, yard work

Village to Village Network Celebration

Village to Village Network, the national association that represents Villages nationwide, proudly celebrates National Village Day on Sunday, February 15, 2026, marking a major milestone: 25 years of the Village Movement. Village to Village Network supports and advocates for the Village Movement, strengthening communities where older adults can age with dignity, purpose, and connection.

The Village Movement is a national network of nearly 300 nonprofit, volunteer-driven Villages dedicated to helping older adults live independently, safely, and connected in their own communities. Self-governing and member-led, Villages provide a sustainable model for healthy aging and currently support more than 40,000 older adults across the United States.

On February 2, 2022 Congressman Stephan Lynch rose in the House of Representatives to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Beacon Hill Village and to further recognize the Village Movement. Later that month, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser proclaimed February 15 as "DC Villages Day." Being that we are the oldest national organization representing Villages, we decided to combine the two and declare February 15 as "National Village Day" to praise the work that Berea Home Village and all Villages do across the US.
