Beacon
Hill Village helps persons age 50 and older who live on
Beacon Hill and in its adjacent neighborhoods enjoy safer,
healthier and more independent lives in their own homes–well
connected to a familiar and attentive community. Faced with
the prospect of leaving the neighborhood they love in order
to obtain the services of a retirement community, a group
of long-time Beacon Hill residents decided to create a better
alternative–Beacon Hill Village is designed to make
remaining at home a safe, comfortable and cost-effective
solution.
By partnering
with proven providers of services, Beacon Hill Village is
able to offer its members preferred access to social and
cultural activities, exercise opportunities and household
and home maintenance services, as well as medical care and
assisted living at home. As a nonprofit, membership organization,
it can provide these programs and services more cost-effectively
than most conventional retirement communities.
Beacon
Hill Village is seeking to ensure that all elders in the
community have the opportunity to become members through
foundation support.
Villagers
can choose from an a la carte menu. Some services are included
in the annual membership fee, with others provided at reduced
rates.
