Cheverly Village Basics

Cheverly Village is a nonprofit organization of Cheverly neighbors committed to help older residents live at home and in community for as long as they would like.

Cheverly Village may be for you if you:

• Want to live in your Cheverly home as long as possible;
• Are a senior or are disabled;
• Want access to Village services;
• Want to participate in Cheverly Village’s social, cultural, and education activities; or,
• Want to support Cheverly Village as an important part of the broader Cheverly Community.
