Hello, Village People!

Thanks to Kathryn Ishizu at Lamorinda Village, we have a location for our October meeting.

Lunch will be brought in from Genuine Goodness. They served up a tasty meal the last time we met in Lafayette. Please bring $20

Our focus, beyond sharing and connecting with each other, will be how to address issues pertaining to higher needs that may be outside of our core services:

Identifying individuals who need or may need more services prior to joining (criteria?) and how to tell a prospective member that a Village might not be a good fit for them
Individuals who need more services than Villages can typically provide - how do Villages provide those services? What other organizations can assist, are there other appropriate referrals for them
How do we manage temporary increases in needs ( due to surgery, hospitalization, etc)
How to transition members whose needs exceed those of the Village to the appropriate help, eg: increase in dementia, Parkinson’s, or other situations requiring more care. What relationships do we have with other organizations who can better assist - Lighthouse for the blind, home care organizations, online services such as TaskRabbit, Alzheimer's assoc, etc
Included in this is the knowledge that, quite frequently, the squeaky wheel gets the most attention and some members may require help but are unable or uncomfortable asking for it - how do we make sure they are not “forgotten” or overlooked?
Are there opportunities for grants based on how we adapt our services for higher-needs members?

Below is a draft agenda which will be updated in the near future. Please watch for the final version shortly before the meeting. We’ll brainstorm, learn from each other, and hopefully, come away with ideas that will be beneficial to our community and to us as Village stakeholders...

10-10:30 Mix, mingle, and Coffee
10:30-11 Introductions and sharing of two great ideas or programs
11-11:15 Update from Village Movement California

12:15- 2:00 Continue conversation around how best to prepare/serve individuals with higher needs that may not align with our current scope of work.
2-2:15 pm Wrap up, select next hosts/locations
