A Village for Aging in Place
An Old Idea Made New
Now is the time to plan for aging in your own home comfortably,
safely & affordably!
North Star Village is hosting two Village at Home talks
introducing the local Village Movement and how to get involved in
creating our own Village.
The talks will be held in a North Portland home
on the following dates:
Saturday, Feb. 7th
2:00 – 4:00 pm
Saturday, Feb. 21st
2:00 – 4:00 pm
Space is limited. RSVP for location at
northstarvillage@comcast.net or 503.978.0540.
If you are interested in remaining in your home as you age,
North Star Village may have the answers to those questions that
have been in the back of your mind, like:
* Who will come to the doctor with me?
* How will I get a ride to and from appointments?
* How will I manage the yard work?
These are just some of the concerns that come up as we consider remaining
in our own homes but just are not quite sure how to make that happen.
Whether your are a home owner, renter, share housing with family or oth-
ers, the Village may be just what you’re looking for. The North Star Village
boundary will include neighborhoods in North Portland and Inner North-
east, plus Linnton, Forest Park and Sauvie Island. Please come to learn
more about what North Star Village will offer and how you can join with
others to create our own virtual village. We’re in the planning phase and
need more folks to step forward to make our Village a reality.
