Elder Care Through Community Building

All the mainstream systems that run our societies are basically broken. Elder care, health care, the education system, the economic system, the political system, the incarceration and recovery system, the environmental system etc etc. They are all broken! The Elder Village and it's subsidiaries are a community based elder village/care solution that can address all of these broken and outdated systems under one roof.
Not that we shouldn't continue to fight for change, but while we mount the movement to change these severely broken systems, we need to pivot away from the broken system and build a solid, independent community structure that will be able to function outside of this corporate run, consumerism driven, broken society.

Not that we shouldn't continue to fight for change, but while we mount the movement to change these severely broken systems, we need to pivot away from the broken system and build a solid, independent community structure that will be able to function outside of this corporate run, consumerism driven, broken society. When the sh** hits the fan we will be ready. A community built on universal love for the human race and the planet we live on. A community that does not discriminate and is all inclusive.
Most people visiting this website will have heard the phrase "It takes a village to raise a child." Well it also takes a village to support that child through their twilight years back to the dust where they came. We can not ignore those that brought us here.

Most people visiting this website will have heard the phrase "It takes a village to raise a child." Well it also takes a village to support that child through their twilight years back to the dust where they came. We can not ignore those that brought us here. We must respect our past, respect our elders and instill this in our children, so we can create a future for our children and children's children and on and on. Where are the rights of passage? How can we create an army of elders to support our children while parents heal their own trauma and learn to forgive and thrive?
The founder, Jonathan Meyerhoff started developing this idea when he had to watch his mother go through the system once she ran out of money. It all starts with the premise that one of the ways that we can solve the elder care crisis is to follow the example of the indigenous people. Put the elders at the center of the village and build the community, commerce and education around them in some way, shape or form. As the American indigenous people did, take care of the next three generations ahead of you and you will be taken care of.
The concept is that people would pay into their local/regional Elder Village like they would into their long term health care insurance. You pay or volunteer in relation to your income. Very little cash... no problem. Eventually you will be able to volunteer at The Elder Village and track your volunteer time on myeledervillage dot org to build credit for when it's time you need care. If you have a ton of cash, you pay more to help subsidize those that have less to contribute financially. Simple.
Every Elder Village, depending on where it's located will grow as much food as it possibly can on the property. Volunteers and residents will volunteer to maintain and harvest. Some Elder Villages may be connected to state forest where wild game can be hunted. This way we can get back to our roots and harvest from the land rather than mass farm. The villages will help eliminate excessive transportation needs because everything you will be available within the Elder Village.
The Elder Village will not rely on corporate run utilities that pay into the broken economic system. The Elder Village will generate all of it's own energy via solar, geothermal, wind, fermentation etc. It will have it's own Internet, Intranet and social media platforms that will ultimately be protected via an encrypted cyber fortress that will keep everyone safe when cyber warfare reaches it's apex in the years to come.
As the first model is being developed, we will prepare additional sites in every state around the US and duplicate this system and repeat. Eventually it can integrate into the suburbs and inner cities. Like the roots of the birch trees, we will create a digital and human root system that can not be broken.
