Community, Connection, and Caring activate compassion.

These words describe the vision for St. Augustine Compassionate Village (STA Compassionate Village). STA Compassionate Village will be a not-for-profit membership organization whose mission is to enhance the quality of life of people age 55+ who want to live at home, stay active as they age, and practice compassion in their lives and communities. STA Compassionate Village will be the tenth member of the Village to Village Network (VTVN) in Florida and the first in NE Florida.

“Villages are instrumental in helping people remain in their homes and independent in their communities.”

—Ilene Henshaw, AARP, Department of Government Affairs.

Our Goal

The goal is to inspire the development of aging-in-place communities throughout St. Johns County and beyond. The founders envision a number of welcoming, intergenerational, and culturally diverse compassionate Villages that will include the City of St. Augustine and all surrounding neighborhoods throughout St. Johns County. Our members are part of a caring, connected, compassionate community that empowers all to live and thrive, aging in place with the services they need.
