Welcome to
Mill Creek Village
Since 2013, Mill Creek Village (MCV) has been a volunteer-led, nonprofit charitable community service organization dedicated to “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” MCV provides services to help older residents (60 years of age and older) in the neighborhood of Mill Creek Towne in Derwood, Maryland to maintain their independence and remain in their homes as they age and confront medical challenges, physical incapacity, lack of mobility and loneliness.
MCV volunteers provide transportation assistance, friendly home visits and calls, grocery shopping and social activities needed to “age in place.” MCV also coordinates several community-wide events/activities annually to foster social connection among older residents and across generations.
Mill Creek Village’s service area includes the neighborhood of Mill Creek Towne on both sides of Shady Grove Road, with nearly 800 residences. The Village includes the townhouses on Mill Run Drive and the houses on Mill Crest Drive and Mill Crest Court.
All residents in this MCV service area may:
(1) Participate in MCV community events held throughout the year;
(2) Request MCV service assistance for elderly household members;
(3) Subscribe to the MCV monthly newsletter;
(4) Serve as a MCV volunteer; and
(5) Support MCV with a financial or in-kind donation.
Join your neighbors (21 years of age and older) for an evening of fun, good food, and friendship!

Last Month’s Webinar: Behind the Promise: Understanding the Financial Risks of CCRCs (LifePlan Communities) Replay Available
Last month we hosted this powerful webinar featuring Tom West, senior partner at SEIA.
During the session we reviewed:
· How CCRCs actually function as financial entities, including where risk lives, how entrance fees are used, and why nonprofit status doesn’t mean risk-free
· What the Harborside bankruptcy really signals—separating headline fear from practical lessons for both current and prospective residents
· How to evaluate and stress-test a CCRC before committing, using balance-sheet thinking instead of marketing language
· What retirees should do to plan ahead, protect flexibility, and avoid over-concentrating housing, healthcare, and capital risk in one decision
