NEED FOR COMMUNITY

 

BENEFITS OF INTENTIONAL COMMUNITIES

Communities offer a wide range of benefits to their Villagers, but intentional communities differ in one important aspect; they offer their Villagers a chance to shape the community to fit their particular needs. Pasadena village encourages Villagers to pursue their own interests, which means it consist of multiple groups within the framework of the larger community, each reflecting their specific interests and needs.
 

OTHER BENEFITS

  • Opportunities to meet new people and form new relationships and friendships.
  • Connection to a group of people who are likely to share the same concerns and interests.
  • Opportunities to volunteer and be of service to others providing a sense of agency and relevance.
  • A network of people who share many of your experiences and have other experiences different from yours with whom you can exchange ideas and consult about issues that concern you.
  • Villagers and volunteers who can be helpful with small tasks around the house that can be difficult for individuals in an aging population.
  • Being with a group of people who come to know, understand and care about you, and stand ready to help when a need arises.

The History of Pasadena Village is a special one. It was formed by a group of friends who felt a need to formalize their group and support each other as they aged. Our Villagers feel and express a special spirit and often tell us about it. Hearing these stories help form connections among our Villagers, one of the many rewards offered by village membership.
