It Takes a Village: Seniors Thrive While Living at Home From: NBC Nightly News - 01/24/2014 Friday on "Nightly News" we continued our series called Trading Places, which features stories from the NBC News family, and how we help care for our aging parents. Our latest story features Brian Williams' in-laws, who are part of a movement rejecting the idea of moving late in life to a retirement community or an assisted living facility. Brian Williams talks about the benefits of the "staying put" program with his in-laws. They are members of what's known as a "village." The idea behind the "village model," as it's called, is to make it possible for seniors to stay in their communities, even their homes, as long as possible.
