Victor King McElheny, a visiting scholar at MIT and advocate for aging in place, founded Cambridge At Home—a virtual retirement community in Cambridge, Mass. It allows seniors to remain independent while accessing services like transportation to medical appointments, social activities, and home help for an annual fee. This initiative aims to reduce late-life care costs and combat social isolation by fostering a supportive network. McElheny’s vision reflects a growing movement towards sustainable aging solutions amidst increasing life expectancy.
