Cheshire Village @ Home (CVAH) is an annual fee-based program
for individuals or couples over the age of 50.
We are a program of the Keene Senior Center in Keene NH.
Cheshire Village offers older adults an affordable option for staying in their own homes when transportation and household chores become difficult. CVAH is for those who wish to remain independent and socially connected to their communities.
Cheshire Village at Home is a membership organization for people over 50, providing you with a single point of access to a network of trained volunteers. Once you join us, one call sets you up with a ride, help at home, social visits, or social & wellness calls as often as you want. We also hold free social events such as coffees, ice cream socials, and presentations by local experts.
We are a local effort non-profit and are neither a real estate development nor a retirement community.
We are a network of caring volunteers and trusted, trained service providers.li
Please note that when the Keene Senior Center is closed for weather or a holiday, we are closed as well.
