HelpfulVillage is an online platform created by Revolutionaging Inc. for senior citizens that enables social engagement and autonomy for seniors who choose to stay in their own homes as they age. The platform serves as an extension of the philosophy of the village movement, symbiotically connecting two groups – older seniors that need help to live a safe and happy life in their home and young retirees that have recently retired and are looking for ways to assist their new community of seniors.
