Silver Spring Village (silverspringvillage.org) offers services and programs to help people remain in their own homes and be engaged in the community as they age. Trained and vetted volunteers offer village members transportation, friendly visits and phone calls, home repairs, help with chores and errands, de-cluttering, medical note-taking and more—plus a full calendar of social and educational activities.
