There are the current Ideas:
Westside Aging in Home
OWL (Older, Wiser, Living)
SOAR (Supporting Our Ageless Residents)
AND (Helping Ageless Neighbors Directly) or (Helping Ageless or Aging Neighbors With Dignity)
BOND (Benefiting Our Neighbors with Dignity)
DREAM (Diversified Resources to Enhance Our Ageless Members)
JOIN (Join Our Intergenerational Neighborhood)
WHOLE (Westsides Holistic Opportunities in a Liveable Environment)
Westsides Longevity at Home
Westsides Liveable Community Club
Mar Vista's Liveable Village

I like SOAR, but I'd still like to add the ones I submitted to the list:
SPRY (Staying Put Regardless of Years)
COAST (Community of Older Adults Sticking Together)
GOTO (Growing Old TOgether)
OLE (Older Living Enrichment or Ongoing Life Enrichment)

How about:
Keeping yourself home
DIY Home - Days in your home
Staying put services

The "AND" should be HAND and I like that one, "Helping Hands"

I think something simple like:
"Staying home 'til another day" sounds nice.

a couple that could stand alone or be meshed with other submissions:

Westside Vibrant Living

No Place Like Home, Aging and Community Services

I like "no place like home to SOAR":
Support Our Ageless Residents

Home Sweet Home - We keep it Sweet and Liveable

There are some excellent ideas here. I'd like to add one more: Mar Vista SOAR. If I could, I'd use a much larger font size for SOAR

An acronym lends itself to being a logo and also provides a shorthand reference. SOAR is very upbeat; the imagery is great. The words (Supporting Our Ageless Residents) are appropriate without being a turn-off to younger potential members.

A place name establishes place. We are not just trying to help people remain in their home; we are trying to help them remain in their home in OUR community. Our community is Mar Vista. "Westside" does not establish a sense of place for our community. Plus, there will likely be other communities on the Westside some day.

"Mar Vista" may connote rich to possible funding sources. If we can't fight that with demographics then we are rich and should take care of our own less fortunate.
