ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION:
AHIG is founded on the Beacon Hill Village model, a nonprofit membership organization in Boston
whose mission is to enable older adults to remain in their homes and in multi-generational
neighborhoods by providing programs and services that are well vetted and needed. Like Beacon Hill
Village, AHIG, uniquely in Greenwich, provides access to an array of vetted services seniors
need and to a network of social connections and events. A year-round calendar of educational
and enrichment events fosters inclusivity and cultivates a wide range of interests. Services
support and enable its members to live happily and independently, and with confidence. The caring
staff, dedicated volunteers, and trusted roster of pre-screened service providers collectively
address members’ needs and provide peace of mind. With unwavering commitment, respect,
optimism and humor, AHIG aims to form meaningful connections … and build a strong,
supportive community of older neighbors in Greenwich who are empowered to thrive as they
navigate growing older. Greenwich, Connecticut prides itself on being an age friendly community
with numerous organizations like AHIG supporting older adults, connecting them with vital services,
and helping them age well.
AHIG is a pioneer in meeting the varied needs of Greenwich’s burgeoning senior population. The
organization is in the first wave of a nationwide movement adopting the Village to Village Network
model. Currently there are 190 open villages with 150 in development, and AHIG continues to
meet with other Fairfield and Westchester County groups and individuals as they become
