Join us on Thursday, February 18 at 2 pm
Join Cheshire Village at Home for a virtual visual presentation of the wonders of Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, and the Grand Canyon National Parks. Roughly centered on the Four Corners region of the Southwestern US, the Colorado Plateau is mainly composed of high desert lands that are home to 7 National Parks.
Our presenter Steve Farrar will share stories of his travels in the area as he takes us on a visual tour of “Red Rock Country” that includes a wide variety of incredible and dramatic natural images: from fantastic rock formations to ancient cliff dwellings, from expansive canyon vistas to soaring arches and tight slot canyons.
Whether you are familiar with these particular National Parks or not, this presentation is a delightful way to chase away cabin fever and escape to another world.
This is a virtual Zoom presentation. Please note that this is NOT The Keene Senior Center Zoom link, but belongs to Cheshire Village at Home.

Senior Center management and the CVAH Steering Committee are dedicated to doing the best for our members and the community; therefore, the Keene Senior Center will be closed until further notice to protect our members, guests, and staff because of the emerging situation with the coronavirus.
We are taking this step to ensure the health and safety of our employees and their families, and to do our part to help reduce the rate of community transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

See below the CV@H policies that been developed to help in prevention of exposure to the COVID-19 virus and are effective immediately.
In light of the current environment, CVAH is asking that volunteers consider their willingness to continue to provide essential services during this period. Please let your wishes be known if you do not want to continue providing services to a Shift Coordinator.
During this difficult time, our sincere wish is that you and your families will remain safe and healthy. Everyone is working to resolve the crisis and hope normal life will resume as quickly as possible. Please be safe and take precautions to protect yourself and your family.
Regards,

Cheshire Village at Home is a membership organization for people over 50, providing you with a single point of access to a network of trained volunteers. Once you join us, one call sets you up with a ride, help at home, social visits, or wellness calls as often as you want. We also hold free social events such as coffees, ice cream socials, and presentations by local experts.
Cheshire Village at Home is an entirely local program, serving western Cheshire County (see a list of the towns we serve,) and we are not a real estate development nor a retirement community.
For an annual fee of $400 per household*, one phone call provides access to those services which often cause seniors to leave their homes for a more restrictive setting. As a program of the Keene Senior Center, the annual fee for Cheshire Village at Home includes a membership to the Keene Senior Center.
Enrollment is ongoing for anyone who expects to need services shortly, or for those who simply want to support this program to ensure it will be available when needed. Download our application form here.

APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP
OR TO BE A VOLUNTEER
Please scroll down this page to find links to a membership application, and a volunteer application.
If you are applying for annual membership, there is a $200 deposit required,
(for 6-month memberships, the deposit is $100)
which should be sent in along with the application. We will refund your deposit if,
for some reason, you do not complete the membership process.
There is no deposit required for Trial Memberships.
Our membership process is:
1) submit your application(s) and deposit (if required);
(one application per member, two if it's for a household)
2) we will contact you and arrange a Home Visit;
3) you will receive a Welcome Letter and can begin using our services.
Your fee goes to pay expenses such as staff costs, and the cost of your Keene Senior Center membership (for existing Center members, we always prorate our first year's fee because they have already paid the Center membership fee.) We have 3 part-time employees who work a combined total of 50-60 hours a week performing office duties: answering phones, coordinating all of the service requests, calling members etc.
Other expenses include; technology costs; the software for the system and phone line costs for the system, office supplies like toner, paper, ink, and stamps, expenses for the socials we provide for our members, paying the bookkeeper who monitors our account, insurance, advertising events, printing brochures, and more.
We have a lot of volunteers who provide services that are priceless to our organization and we could not provide the services without them. If we had to pay for all of the rides, calls, and other services, the cost would be huge to our village members.
If you feel that our fee is more than you can afford, we have a limited number of partial scholarships, as well as both a Trial Membership (3-months) and a 6-month membership option. Please call us for details (603) 903-9680
