About Fellowship Community
The Fellowship Community, founded in 1966 by Ann and Paul Scharff, is a dynamic, work-based, intergenerational community centered on the care of the elderly. Located 30 miles northwest of New York City, this rural community consists of approximately 140 elder members, co-workers, and their children, living together in a farm-like setting with woods and orchards. At The Fellowship Community, individuals have the opportunity to engage in self-development by working and learning in service to others and caring for the earth.
The community's mission is to nurture the body, soul, and spirit of every individual through all phases of life, while also creating and maintaining a social process that emphasizes our common humanity and responsible care for the earth. The Fellowship Community promotes human-centered, long-term care for the elderly, offering individualized therapeutic and medical support and services. They also provide meaningful and fulfilling work opportunities in service, and encourage continuing education through cooperation with neighboring institutions.
Through their commitment to social, economic, and cultural renewal, The Fellowship Community aims to foster a world that values equality, brotherhood, sisterhood, and spiritual growth. Founded on the principles of Anthroposophy, The Fellowship Community was established to address the question of eldercare and supports the development of the aging human being in body, mind, and spirit. The community is rooted in the belief that a holistic approach to care not only benefits the elderly, but also enriches the lives of those who provide support, including coworkers and volunteers of all ages.
For over 50 years, The Fellowship Community has dedicated itself to helping elderly members find purpose and meaning in the later years of their lives. With a focus on individual needs and a commitment to biodynamic agricultural methods, this community strives to create a model for societal care for the elderly. The Fellowship Community embodies a spirit of compassion, respect, and cooperation, fostering a holistic approach to aging and community living
