The mission of Bloomingdale Aging in Place is to develop an inter-generational volunteer network of neighbors that enables older residents to continue living at home safely and comfortably as needs change. Bloomingdale Aging in Place is a volunteer organization made up entirely of your neighbors. We have no paid staff.

Welcome to our website!
