How do you want to live when you get older? There is a community in Boston that is trying to transform what it’s like to grow old in the United States. It’s called the Beacon Hill Village, and it’s made up of people who rejected the traditional idea of moving into a retirement home. At Beacon Hill Village, residents agree to fully support each other. Annual dues go toward providing support on everything from grocery shopping to transportation to even financial or medical needs. However, the most important aspect is the social scene. Movie nights, museum trips, restaurant outings, and even cross-country travel give the place more of a social club vibe — and the impact extends into the local community. “Every day, by going out and creating a positive impression on the people around them, the members of Beacon Hill and other Villages dispel the old myth that elders are unfit to co-mingle with society,” says Joseph Coughlin, the founder of the MIT AgeLab.
