Nonprofit assists seniors in staying in homes

Philipstown Aging at Home, which launched in February 2020 to assist local seniors hoping to stay in their homes — which can take many forms, including shoveling snow, buying groceries, tech help and home tasks — is looking for volunteers.

The nonprofit, which is run by a 10-member board, says it “aims to be a hub for a vibrant, senior-focused community providing practical and social support for its members.” Its inspiration was the “Village” concept, or a community of neighbor-helping-neighbor within a town or regular village.

To volunteer, or more information about how to use the group’s resources, see paah.net. The website also includes a list of resources for seniors.
