ITAV Began with an Inspiration
ITAV Began with an Inspiration
Annegret Wolf Rice, our founder, puts it this way:
"ITAV started with a spark. I attended a Village to Village (VtV) meeting at the Warner Library in Tarrytown. Lois Steinberg described the national movement. As president of the Center for Aging in Place (CAP) in Westchester County, she showed such enthusiasm that I caught fire."

The ITAV Mission
Annegret Wolf Rice, continues:
"With no relatives in this country I knew that an organization that supports seniors and enables them to remain and age in their homes was needed in 10591. I spread the word, and one year later, our own group was formed."
ITAV has one mission
: To provide support and service that helps seniors in our community remain independent in their homes

Demographic trends drive the village to village movement. The 65+ age group is the fastest growing segment of the population. With children often living far away, seniors will have to depend on themselves and on local support groups. They will need more services in their daily lives.

Filling Gaps
Filling Gaps
Government and nonprofit agencies provide many services here but with limitations that leave gaps between what they offer and what seniors may need.

ITAV benefits the whole community
ITAV benefits the whole community
Ninety percent of seniors want to remain in their homes. ITAV helps them fulfill that goal. We keep business local when we connect members to local merchants. ITAV can connect high school students and senior citizens, creating volunteer opportunities for students and energizing seniors, as well. Our organization can empower members of the community to use their skills in new ways in the service of others. ITAV, in sum, makes the 10591 Zip Code a better place to live.
