Seaglass Village
About
Seaglass Village is a nonprofit that helps older adults in Marblehead, Nahant, Swampscott and the Vinnin Square area stay in their own homes as they age. It follows the village model of neighbors helping neighbors: dozens of volunteers drive members to appointments and errands, make friendly calls and visits, help with light household and gardening chores, and connect members to resources ranging from a handyman to home care services.
Beyond practical help, Seaglass Village is a social community. An active events committee organizes get-togethers, meals out, talks on varied topics and a genealogy group, giving members chances to meet new friends and stay engaged. Members can volunteer too, and volunteers help other seniors learn new technology, staff the office and serve on committees. The organization describes its purpose as reimagining aging and supporting independent living, and it publishes a newsletter and an annual report.
