• The Village Movement helps seniors age in place in Montgomery County (thebanner.com) — Montgomery County’s growing Village Movement already includes affluent areas like Potomac, where neighbors help seniors age safely at home with rides, small repairs, and social events. New Villages are now forming in less urban communities such as Boyds and Germantown, backed by county and state grants to expand volunteer support and combat isolation among older residents.
