I’ve been a fan of the Villages idea for years since I learned about the<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beaconhillvillage.org\/\"> Beacon Hill Village<\/a><\/strong> where the movement started in 2002.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The Village model involves a local grassroots, nonprofit Village forming where members join for annual fees ranging from $200-900 across the country and then have access to a range of services. Members join in activities together, recommend service providers to each other, are provided with a very well screened list of other service providers, provide volunteer services for each other, and can receive a host of volunteer services themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The NORC’s, from what I understand, are a little different. They range in shape and size across the country so each of them are a little different, too, reflecting their communities and members. There is no membership fee so the NORC’s are usually affiliated with a not for profit organization, government grants, donors and other fund-raising sources that allow them to offer services for no charge to members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">NORC Movement Founder Fredda Vladeck<\/span><\/h2>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The founder of the first NORC is Fredda Vladeck whose wonderful interview I read yesterday:\u00a0<\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.norcblueprint.org\/uploads\/File\/DesignerBuilderFV.pdf.pdf\">Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities: An Interview with Fredda Vladeck. <\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Fredda was a geriatric social worker in NYC in the mid-1980’s and began to notice a lot of older people coming in to the ER with issues that could have easily been addressed – and prevented – at home if they had had the support and knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Many of these people lived at Penn South Mutual Redevelopment Houses in Chelsea, a cooperative housing development built in 1962 by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union. There were 6,200 residents with 5,000 them seniors. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Many of them were old labor organizers who had devoted their lives to the unions and so did not have traditional family support systems. Fredda designed a unique program to empower these people to age in place – her program became known as a NORC. \u00a0Now there are dozens in NYC alone and hundreds across the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">NORC WOW’s<\/span><\/h2>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The NORC’s are not just located in housing complexes, there are also NORC WOW’s – Naturally Occuring Retirement Communities Without Walls in communities such as the<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishinstlouis.org\/page.aspx?id=58980\">St Louis NORC<\/a><\/strong> which consists of a 3 square mile neighborhood. \u00a0NORC’s typically have over 50% of the population as older adults and can result from:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In-migration: a location where retirees move because of things like access to services and quality of life,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Evolution: where a community naturally ages together, and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Out-migration: where younger working folks tend to move to other locations leaving older people behind.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 17px;\">For more information about this fascinating “aging in place” movement, \u00a0click on\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.norcs.org\/\">http:\/\/www.norcs.org\/\u00a0<\/a> .<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NORC’s = Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities Not Exactly like the Village Model Recently, I’ve been involved with the Village Movement and working on organizing a new Village in my home town.
