Boomers are rewriting the script on aging, and throughout the U.S., "Virtual Villages" are setting the stage.

Eastside Neighbors Network, like the other 300+ virtual villages across the US, is built on friendship and mutual support to make it easier and more enjoyable for seniors to remain in their homes. 

Being part of a village offers many of the benefits of a retirement community without the need to relocate. Members of ENN enjoy:

  • Member-inspired social, cultural, and informational activities
  • Volunteer help including local transportation
  • Volunteer opportunities
  • Access to service providers 
  • Information and referrals for local agencies

HOW OUR VIRTUAL VILLAGE WORKS

  • Members pay a single annual fee to access resources, services, and social opportunities.
  • Members request services by phone, email, or on our secure web site.
  • Background-checked volunteers receive daily email notices about opportunities that match their skills.
  • Volunteers accept member requests and follow up with the member to confirm arrangements.
  • Members plan outings, form interest groups, and organize in-home meetings based on their interests.
  • You stay informed - Community programs, volunteer opportunities, and member events are announced by email and on the web.

It's that simple. We don't like bureaucracy, and we figure you don't either!
