| Dupont Circle Village Documents Dupont Circle Village Testimony Aging-in-Place Resources Beacon Hill Village - Faced with the prospect of leaving the neighborhood they love in order to obtain the services of a retirement community, a group of long-time Beacon Hill residents decided to create a better alternative–Beacon Hill Village is designed to make remaining at home a safe, comfortable and cost-effective solution. Cambridge At Home is a cooperative community formed to ensure the timely availability of services similar to those of a retirement community. Capitol Hill Village is a volunteer-first organization. The DC Office on Aging develops and carries out a comprehensive and coordinated system of health, education, employment, and social services for the District's elderly population, who are 60 years of age and older.

The Metropolitan DC Local Chapter of the National Aging in Place Council is a business council that is committed to providing the highest quality services and products to our clients to help them to remain in their homes throughout retirement.
