Becoming a member of the Village at Kentlands and Lakelands offers many benefits for residents of the Kentlands and Lakelands communities who are 55 years of age and older. 

• Support Services: Members can access a range of services designed to help them maintain independence and remain in their homes as they age. These services include transportation, help with minor home chores, tech assistance, social calls, and short walks to name a few.

• Social and Cultural Activities: The Village organizes numerous social, cultural, and educational events that cater to a wide range of interests. These activities are important for keeping members engaged with their community, continuing their education, and enjoying a socially active lifestyle.

• Shared Interest Groups:  It can be a lot more fun doing something with others than doing it alone. The Village works with members who are looking to partner with others around a shared interest. These activities can include book clubs, gardening, walking, arts and crafts, restaurants, travel, music and theater appreciation, and discussion groups, to name a few..

• Volunteer Opportunities: Members have the opportunity to give back to the community by participating in volunteer roles within the Village. This is a great way to remain active, feel useful, and connect with neighbors. 

• Community Building: Membership in the Village fosters a strong sense of community and belonging. The Village helps create connections among residents, promoting a supportive network that can be helpful as needs and life circumstances change.

• Safety and Security: With programs and resources available through the Village, members can feel a greater sense of security, knowing they have support readily available. This can be especially important for those living alone or far from family.

• Age in Place: The Village model is designed to help members age in place, providing the assistance needed to handle the challenges that might come with aging, while staying in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes.
