Village Concept Helps Seniors Age in Place

The San Diego North County Coastal Village, which plans to launch in early 2018, aims to allow older adults to age in their own homes in a safe and dignified way, board member Liam Dunfey tells GlobeSt.com.

Liam Dunfey Dunfey: “We have found that some of the volunteers that come to our meetings are very interested in meeting other peers in North County Encinitas and Carlsbad. That’s the number-one value proposition for villages.”

SAN DIEGO—The San Diego North County Coastal Village, an Aging Adults Village concept that plans to launch in early 2018, aims to allow older adults to age in their own homes in a safe and dignified way, boar chair of the village Liam Dunfey tells GlobeSt.com.
