Senior Living Community
A new senior living community in the Kyiv Region where displaced seniors can live their lives in peace and joy.
Why Focus On Seniors
One of the most vulnerable populations in Ukraine are seniors 60 and older. They worked their entire lives, raising families, building homes by hand, working to help the community. Tens of thousands of them now have nothing.
Nowhere to Return
Their homes in places like Bakhmut, Mariupol and Advivka have been wiped off the earth. They are called Internally Displaced Persons (IDP).
No Earning Years Left
These seniors thought their retirement would be peaceful. But they have nothing left. They have no earning power and receive pensions around $100 a month, barely enough for food and medicine.
What We Provide
Community
We are not only providing the housing for the elderly IDPs, but we are creating a community they can enjoy.
Daily Meals
To provide the residents with more comfort, we provide two daily meals at not cost for them.
On-site Management
We are hiring on-site management to keep the territory clean, elderly taken care of, and problems solved timely.
Senior Center Expansion: Stage 2
What started out as a project to house 16 seniors has become an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of the displaced senior population. The buildings sit on an idyllic forested property that still boasts easy access to the village of Vorzel.
Main Building
Our 2- and 4-Plexes
Each unit will house a couple with their own kitchens and bathrooms, allowing 88 more seniors to have a place to live and call home.
Phase 2B and 3
Phase 2B and 3 of our expansion will open the doors to even more seniors in need, creating a permanent home for an additional 160 residents. With these new phases, our Senior Community will continue to grow as a place of safety, dignity, and connection for elderly Ukrainians who have lost their homes and stability. Each new apartment is more than just 4 walls—it represents security, care, and a community where seniors can rebuild their lives surrounded by neighbors, support, and compassion.
Phase 1 Completed
- room for 4 couples and 5 single seniors
- 700 sq ft caretaker’s cottage for onsite staff
- mature trees
- gardens
- walking paths
- outdoor gathering spaces
Phase 2A Completed
The second phase of move-ins at our Our People Senior Community in Vorzel has been completed, welcoming 57 more elderly residents into their new home. Nestled in a scenic resort town near Kyiv, the community offers a safe, comfortable, and dignified environment with 24/7 care, personalized meals, cozy living spaces, and peaceful outdoor areas.
Creating a Community
Many of our seniors arrived here having lost more than just their homes—with entire neighborhoods, friendships, and familiar ways of life ripped away by war. They’ve been moved from shelter to shelter, town to town, often uncertain where safety, comfort, or a helping hand will come next.
At our Senior Community, we’re not merely offering shelter — we’re restoring a sense of belonging. One woman, having fled Bakhmut with nothing but memories, was stunned to discover her old neighbor from the same town living in the center. These reunions spark hope, ease loneliness, and remind us that even after being tossed by the turbulence of displacement, community can still be rebuilt. Here, they share meals, stories, laughter, and tears — and step by step find a place they can finally call home again.
