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.

MILL CREEK VILLAGE 12th ANNUAL MEETING - TUESDAY, APRIL 8 AT MCT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
All Mill Creek Towne resident are invited to attend the 12th Annual Mill Creek Village (MCV) Meeting at Mill Creek Towne Elementary School on Tuesday, April 8 from 7:30 - 9:30 PM. The meeting will occur in the Multi-Purpose Room at the school located at 17700 Park Mill Drive, Derwood. MD 20855.
In addition to catching up on the Village's efforts to support our seniors and foster a caring and connected community, those in attendance will enjoy a special presentation Lisa Friedman, of Carefinder. LLC, on "Senior Living Solutions: Navigating These Complex Questions." This topic is on the minds of many of our older residents and their children who often must help their parents to make these tough decisions about their independence and future well-being.
Some of the questions that Lisa will help provide answers to, include:
-- What determines a person's or couple's ability to age well in place?
-- What care can I get at my home to help me remain in it?
-- What are independent living alternatives?
-- What is assisted living?
-- What is memory care and when is it typically needed?
-- Do I need an estate attorney for my will and to protect my finances from probate and excessive taxation?
-- Do I require the services of a care manager to coordinate my needs?
-- What are my long-term care insurance options and are they affordable at my age if I do not currently have such coverage?
-- If I need long-term care and require Medicaid to help cover the expense of skilled nursing home care, as is the case for a large proportion of elderly living on fixed incomes, will such help still be there if the current Administration has its way with indiscriminate budget cuts?
-- Are there county subsidies available to help me meet my care needs and what are the eligibility requirements?
MCV gratefully acknowledges the following business sponsors for supporting this and other Village programs throughout the year:
Rhodium Sponsors: Bay Area Tire Service / Dave Dabb Homes / Three Creek Dentistry
Platinum Sponsors: Grant La Gasse at Financial Advantage Advisors
