The overarching goal of the Hotel Oakland Village is to encourage other senior communities to follow our mottos: “Participation = Good Health” and “Improving Lives by Rethinking Healthy Senior Living.” Our story begins in July of 2011, when the Hotel Oakland Village was formed with a goal of reducing the serious negative health impact of senior isolation. Over the last 5 years, we have grown from 8 resident-managed Health Groups to 15 vibrant Health Groups with over 80% resident participation. Over this time, we have also become a recognized national model for healthy senior living that has successfully reduced isolation among the almost 400 Hotel Oakland Village residents.
