Neighbor Network Kick-Off in Glen Rock!
A group of residents invites all Glen Rockers to explore a neighbor for neighbor movement that allows seniors to maintain a vibrant quality of life as they live longer. Sixty residents came out for the events - to hear about and share their input on the concept of a neighborhood network for those choosing to age at home in Glen Rock.
Residents Donna Feigenbaum and Teresa Gilbreath lead the event describing a network that gives seniors easier access to information on senior resources as well as finding ways to fill gaps in existing services.
Kathy McCann, who attended the first event and said, "The Village concept provides me with the hope and confidence to face the challenge of advancing senior years. It’s a well-designed, community-based idea…"
This network concept is part of a Village Movement in over 360 US communities composing the Village-to-Village Network. North Jersey Villages, representing this movement in the Bergen County area, is sponsoring these information sessions.
