• W164577467 abstract "A civic-minded group of older adults forms its own supportive and becomes an international model Beacon Hill Village is an innovative nonprofit organization designed specifically to enable older people to remain in their homes as they age. It was founded by a group of civicminded people on Beacon Hill in downtown Boston who were determined to in community but discovered that the support systems they would need to do so successfully were nonexistent. Surveying the scene in 2000, they found that state and federal programs for older adults were restricted to very poor people and people with disabilities. They visited and observed traditional social service models (assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and nursing homes) and described them as tending to be regimented, expensive, and isolating. From the outset, the founders said they were determined not to rely on private social services or government agencies for solutions. They said they wanted to design their own lifestyles and create their own futures. As a result, the group created in Beacon Hill Village a new model for responding to the needs of the older population. To accomplish the goal of serving the whole person, the Village works in three specific areas. The first is community-building through a vast array of social activities largely arranged around interests shared in common and open to all members. The second area is member services. Life is filled with quests for information (What is Medicare Plan D? Do you know a good plumber? ) and a need for assistance (a ride to the grocery store, meals delivered, snow shoveled, advice from a computer nerd). The Village is totally focused on the consumer and honors every request possible. The third focus area is healthcare. Beacon Hill Village is wellness oriented. It offers exercise classes, discounts at health clubs, flu shots, information on medical issues, access to doctors at a major hospital, hospital discharge planning, home healthcare aides. Beacon Hill Village is primarily a consolidator of services. Its founders say that they realized early in their deliberations that everything they needed to age in a healthy, safe, and connected manner was available in the greater Boston area. Their challenge was to create an organization that could facilitate access to those services and providers rather than replicating them. The Village provides members with a centralized and personalized referral system of information and services. All providers are thoroughly vetted, and many offer members discounts. The founders of Beacon Hill Village established strategic partnerships with a number of organizations that provide services and support. These partnerships also offer a sense of professionalism and credibility to the new Village model. Partnerships exist with a large teaching hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, which guarantees access to its Senior Health Care Practice for Village members; a provider of residential elder services (Rogerson Communities) that gave the new enterprise advice, access to funding sources, and many office support services during the start-up phase; and a newly formed home healthcare provider (House Works), which has a very flexible homecare health system and gives Village members a 10 percent discount. It is important to note that Beacon Hill Village has a partnership with these organizations, not a client relationship. The Beacon Hill Village model for delivery of services to older people took hold quickly. Now nine years old, Beacon Hill Village has proved to be a sustainable model. …" @default.
