The Village Model
Presented by: Village to Village Network
![Page 4: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why the Village Model and why right now?
![Page 5: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
More Opportunities
71.5 MILLION
Because there are more people age 65 and older
than in any time in our history.
U.S. Residents Over Age 65:
In 2006 there were 37 million
In 2030 there will be 71.5 million
![Page 6: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Because people over 85 are the fastest growing segment of the US Population.
![Page 7: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Because 85 percent of people age 45 and older say they want to age in their
own homes and communities.
![Page 8: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
And last but not least, because we cannot build enough senior communities and retirement facilities to house all of us.
It would take too long and cost too much.

Successful Aging Requires Coordination
![Page 10: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Aging in Community Principles
• Experience of aging —positive interactions and collaboration in shared interests and pursuits.
• Relationships between community members —informal, voluntary, and reciprocal.
• Social capital — a sense of social connectedness and interdependence.
![Page 11: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
History of the Village • Began in 2001 in Beacon Hill
neighborhood of Boston.• Started with a group of friends
recognizing that there must be a better way.
• Word started to spread and more communities looked to this option.
• Movement really took off in 2007 thanks to a NY Times article.
![Page 12: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Village Model has a Set of Guiding Principles
• Self-governing, self-supporting, grassroots membership-based organizations.
• Consolidate and coordinate services for members.
• Create innovative strategic partnerships that leverage existing community resources and do not duplicate existing services.
• Holistic, person-centered, and consumer-driven.
• Promote volunteerism, civic engagement, and intergenerational connections.
![Page 13: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Village Model as Three Core Components
• Services provided by vetted volunteers.
• Access to a list of vetted service providers in the community.
• Ongoing social activities.
![Page 14: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Villages are unique to the communities they serve
• Villages vary the organization to reflect the needs and leverage available resources.
• Core services address gaps and preference.
• Funded through membership fees and fundraising from private sources.
• Nearly all Villages offer options for both individual or household membership and subsidized memberships.
![Page 15: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Villages foster a strong sense of community
• Combination of paid staff, volunteers and community-based partnerships:• Facilitate connection to existing
community services.• Assist members to navigate
medical, non-medical and social support needs.
• Create social networks and expand social capital to support aging in community.
• 53 percent of Village members volunteer for their Village — truly “neighbor helping neighbor.”
![Page 17: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Variety of Business Models
• Grassroot, non profit• Started by neighbors worried about their
own futures.• Small staffs and armies of volunteers.• Appeal to the middle class and older adults seeking
better solutions to current system of aging services.
• Parent Sponsored• Affiliated with existing social service agencies.

Congregational Care Teams History
• The Care Team® concept began in 1985 when Interfaith CarePartners founders Earl Shelp, Ph.D. and Ronald Sunderland, Ed. D. joined to care for a colleague who was diagnosed with AIDS.
• They realized that through a network of congregation partnerships they could provide compassionate care through a volunteer program.
![Page 32: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Concept
Interfaith CarePartners’ signature service program brings caring volunteers together with families in need of support. Every Care
Team® consists of volunteers whose personal presence and practical assistance make life better for the weak and vulnerable,
and for those who serve them.
![Page 33: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How it Works
Through simple acts of kindness, team members enable care “partners” to retain their independence and self-esteem, and offer primary
caregivers (typically close family members) respite from the demands of caring for a vulnerable loved one.
![Page 34: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Every Interfaith CarePartners Care Team® group is formed in collaboration with a local faith congregation. The church-based and
synagogue-based volunteers enjoy relationships with “partners” needing care. They create a sense of family and mutual care that make
the teams so special and effective.
Caregiving Collaborators
![Page 35: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• The goal of the program is to help people age in place and to renew a sense of community within organizations and neighborhoods.
• Shepherd’s Center Central (SCC) has worked beside volunteers from three metro area congregations to develop caregiver assistance using the Interfaith Care-Partners model.
Shepherd’s Center’s Success using this model
![Page 36: December 7, 2015 - MARC · 2017. 3. 22. · Help@Home is a membership-based, feebased program.- Fees are offered on a sliding scale, based on the member’s household income. Fees](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd07102ac0da5681128cd5a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• SCC has guided three congregations to design a ministry that will offer caregivers a much needed rest from trusted volunteers within their congregation.
• Congregation Beth Torah, Overland Park — Caring Connection Team.
• Calvary Temple Baptist, 23rd & Holmes, Kansas City — CPR Team.• Northcross United Methodist, Vivian Road, Kansas City — Helping
Hands.

Keys to Success for congregational teams are:
• A strong leadership team and volunteers ready to be trained and serve.
• Caregivers within the congregation/community or older adults needing assistance.
• Support from the pastor/rabbi and other leadership in the congregation or neighborhood association.
• A need in the congregation and/or community.
