Back Cove Aging in Place Initiative

Back Cove’s Aging in Place Initiative is a part of Portland Area Villages, Inc., a nonprofit membership organization providing services to Seniors, to assist in making it possible for them to remain in their own homes.  The services are all provided by volunteers who are vetted prior to interacting with the members.  The services consist of transportation to appointments and social activities, assistance with shopping and errands, light household chores, light gardening, phone call check-ins, computer assistance, friendly visits, bringing trash to the street, and handyman assistance.  We also endeavor to connect members with each other and help to combat social isolation. 

If you need assistance, would like to know more about us, or know of any neighbors we could help, please contact us.  More volunteers and Board members would also be welcome!  Our website is www.portlandareavillages.org, our phone is 207-370-1896, our email is info@portlandareavillages.org,  or you can contact Carol Colton directly at ccolton@portlandareavillages.org or 508-728-1296.  We would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
