I am somewhat disabled physically and have been helped immensely by Village members driving me to doctors' appointments.
Particularly important to us has been the film series and the ability to socialize at dinners at local restaurants.
We love living on College Hill and know that the Village on College Hill will allow us to stay in our home as long as possible.

Why do I love the Village on College Hill? It links the past, present, and future.
As a member I've been enriched by the storied histories shared by my fellow members in the Tuesday night Village Voices series, and enjoyed their camaraderie during wonderful restaurant dinners and excursions.
I feel secure that if I ever need something in the future, help is just a phone call away.
From the free movie nights to the Tai Chi lessons, the equinox parties and the wine tastings, VOCH has allowed me to realize that growing old is just a state of mind.

We love the College Hill neighborhood — its unique homes, its walkability, and its people — and we want to support all efforts to improve the quality of life for older citizens.
We love the summer film series, the presentations by artists, the Village Voice, and the WDIY public radio station features — and getting to know people who have moved here more recently.
The Solstice gatherings and Valentine's events are great fun. It's also helpful to receive the notifications from the weekly bulletin.

Ever since the Village-sponsored Tai Chi and Qigong exercise classes began 5 years ago, I've appreciated and enjoyed them. But the virtual version via Zoom during the pandemic? Priceless!
Often called "meditation in motion," this traditional Chinese approach aims to bolster health by reducing stress and improving balance and energy, while calming your breath to achieve physical and mental relaxation.
It's a great way to start off the week each Monday morning — one click of a Zoom link connects you to the homes of participating Villagers and the three Village members who lead the class. Each of us has the best seat in the house for learning these moves.
