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

Virtual Event - Still Here: Dignity and Personhood in Dementia
Tuesday, February 17, 2026
1:00pm
Aging brings changes, but it doesn’t take away who you are. In this virtual session, Chaplain Brandon Cox offers a reassuring perspective on how care partners can support people living with dementia while honoring dignity, individuality, and connection. He will share how thoughtful, person-centered approaches help those experiencing cognitive change feel valued and understood—today and in the years ahead.
Chaplain Brandon Cox is a graduate of Howard University School of Divinity, where he earned a Master of Divinity, and holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Management. He has completed a chaplaincy internship and two year-long chaplaincy residencies at the National Institute of Health (NIH) Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD; the Medstar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC; and the University of Virginia’s University Hospital in Charlottesville, VA. He has now obtained seven (7) units of Clinical Pastoral Education. Chaplain Cox currently serves as a healthcare chaplain with Ingleside, a Life Plan Community provider serving DC, Virginia, and Maryland.
