The 600 East Wing of The Village of Westland is home to approximately 40 older adults. Having a dining and lounge area to gather close by is crucial to reduce social isolation and loneliness, especially after COVID. Some residents are still leery of leaving their rooms.
“For some of our residents, going to the main dining room can be an overwhelming experience. It’s become more common for them to order their food in and stay isolated. Having a place right down the hall to come eat and hangout is so convenient and will bring more people together.” says Michele White, Executive Director at The Village of Westland.
This newly designed area offers expanded space, new cabinets, counters, tables…, and a very large TV offers residents more opportunities to gather comfortably above and beyond just dining. From coffee hours, to playing cards, to watching favorite television shows together, these neighborhood dining areas foster community and all the good that comes with it in a beautiful new space.
“This project is truly life changing! Having a new dining area might sound minimal, but if you’re here each day, you know what this really will do for each resident.”
Coming together again is at the core of the Neighborhood Dining and Gathering Lounge. Your donation enables the residents to live each day to the fullest at The Village of Westland.

It’s time to give locally. When you give during Friends and Family you will help a resident.
YOU will support social activities like: field trips, birthday celebrations, holiday gatherings, and wellness activities.
Why are these social engagements so important?
Because an older adult is more susceptible to social isolation. YOU can change that.
Help get an older adult out of his or her room and engaged in fun stimulating activities.
YOUR gift will make an older adult healthier and keep him or her connected.
