Services at River West Village
Home is where our stories live.
Darl has cherished her SW Portland home for 46 years; Byron has moved 33 times in his lifetime. Both share the same wish: to stay rooted where they are. They’re not alone. Studies show that nearly 90% of U.S. seniors want to remain in their homes for as long as possible. With the support of a Village, that dream becomes reality.
At River West Village, our volunteers step in to do the kinds of tasks friends, neighbors, and family might help with. Sometimes it’s something small, like carrying laundry down steep basement steps, changing a smoke alarm battery, or raking leaves to keep walkways clear. But those small acts make a big difference in helping members live safely, comfortably, and independently.
At River West Village, our services are more than practical help. They’re acts of care that make it possible to live safely, comfortably, and joyfully at your own home. With neighbors lending a hand and friendships growing along the way, you’ll find both support and connection. We’re here to ensure you can thrive right where you belong.
