About Us

Hyattsville Aging in Place (HAP) is a volunteer-run nonprofit village dedicated to helping Hyattsville residents as they age in our community.  (Villages are grassroots organizations around the country focused on supporting seniors.)

We provide volunteer services, educational and social events and help advocate for the interests of our neighbors.  Our services are available to residents of the City of Hyattsville over the age of 60.

HAP got started in 2011 and has provided rides, help with yard work, installed smoke detectors, moved furniture, shoveled snow and regularly visited with neighbors.

HAP is funded through yearly membership dues  and generous donations and grants. HAP membership is only $35 per year for individuals and $40 total for a couple ($20 for each). We are supported by a great group of volunteers who keep the organization running and provide services to our neighbors.  Our volunteers are trained and must pass a background check before working with HAP’s neighbors.

1. identifying services needed by those over age 60, with a special emphasis on health, transportation and safety;
2. developing information and resources to support policy and programs oriented to those over age 60;
3. building a network of volunteers and service providers who can assist those aging;
4. educating residents about what to expect in the aging process and understanding the time as one of opportunity, growth and wisdom;
