Meeting the Needs of an Active Adult Community
Americans are living longer, healthier, and more productive lives. We want to remain active and independent in our own homes and communities. Sometimes it takes a little help to accomplish the goal of aging safely and securely in our own home as we age.
As SCPDCA neared twenty years old, the aging of our first residents became impossible to ignore. Members of the SCPDCA formed a committee to investigate a national Villages Program to study the response of other Del Webb communities to the unique issues our aging residents were facing. Based on the committee’s recommendations, ‘The Desert Village Initiative’ (DVI), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, was formed in 2011.
At over 1000 members we are the largest Village in the nation.
Our organization is a grassroots nonprofit, membership organization. It gives necessary support where needed in and out of the home, with social support as well. Members are positively impacted by increased confidence in their ability to live independently and enjoy a better quality of life.
As a nonprofit organization, independent of SCPDCA, the Desert Village Initiative is committed to helping our members find solutions to the issues and challenges of aging in place; and to ensure that our community remains a vibrant, welcoming home for all our residents.
