The mission of Bloomingdale Aging in Place is to develop an inter-generational volunteer network of neighbors that enables older residents to continue living at home safely and comfortably as needs change. Bloomingdale Aging in Place is a volunteer organization made up entirely of your neighbors. We have no paid staff.

Welcome to our website!

Here you will find useful information about what we and others are doing to help ourselves and our neighbors continue living at home as long as we can. Just check ABOUT, ARCHIVE, EVENTS, RESOURCES.

If you would like to join in some of our activities, or just learn more about us, please take a moment to REGISTER. You will then be able to send comments, participate in online forums, and take part in our numerous group activities.
