A new nonprofit in Seattle is helping the elderly stay in their homes by creating a virtual village.  Our newspaper partners at the Seattle Times just did a profile of NEST (North East Seattle Together).

NEST ensures that seniors continue to live safely in their own homes and neighborhoods instead of moving into nursing homes or senior living facilities.  Members will pay an annual fee of $600 for neighbors to help with everyday tasks like garbage and lawn care.  Volunteers are also stepping up to help in their neighborhoods as well.

Fourteen neighborhoods in North Seattle will be served by NEST. (Disclosure: one of Maple Leaf Life’s co-editors is a NEST board member.) The geographic boundaries are east to Lake Washington, north to 110th, west to I-5 and south to the Montlake Cut.  [Click for map]
