JOHNSON CITY, TN, UNITED STATES, September 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Castillo Donado Corporation, through its subsidiaries Senior Micro Villages and My Dignity Senior Safe Homes, is advancing its Freedom to Age™ mission with progress on seven senior housing developments, new community initiatives, ancillary services, and strategic in-home safety partnerships.

Together, these efforts provide East Tennessee seniors and veterans with real alternatives to costly, institutional care.

Senior Micro Villages: Communities Underway

Through Senior Micro Villages, seven projects are moving forward simultaneously:
• Spurrier Hill Homes — 900 Wilson Ave, Johnson City. The region’s first of its kind veteran-focused community, Spurrier Hill has opened a group home for senior veterans in recovery near the VA Hospital. (Veteran micro-villas planned for a later phase.)
• The Compound — 2803 McKinley Rd, Johnson City. Breaking ground now on five micro-villas with ADA-aware layouts, solar readiness, EV charging, bike storage, and the Vibe Check Oasis community hub. WJHL coverage.
• Haven Village — 1201 North North Street, Johnson City. Walkable micro-village near Johnson City Medical Center.
• Sunstead — 110 South North Street, Johnson City. A planned medical-commercial plaza integrated with a micro-village, combining healthcare, services, and housing.
• Tranquility Park — Jonesborough, TN. A planned 26-villa community in Tennessee’s oldest town.
• Silver Peak — Whitehouse Rd, Greeneville. Hillside retreat micro-village community with Mountain Views and a nearby waterfall.
• Beauty Meadows — 2301 South Greenwood Drive, Johnson City. A unique development blending senior beauty and wellness studios.

New Housing Models
• Granny Pods — Backyard cottages built to the same standards as Senior Micro Village villas, complete with kitchen, bath, living area, and ADA features. Pods allow seniors to remain close to family while maintaining independence.
• Villages Without Walls — A membership program for non-residents, providing access to Senior Micro Village amenities, activities, and social connection without relocation.

Founder Alvaro Castillo Donado, CEO of Castillo Donado Corporation, said:

“With Spurrier Hill open and The Compound breaking ground, our pipeline of seven communities and ancillary services is moving forward. With the launch of Granny Pod building services and Villages Without Walls, we’re proving Freedom to Age is more than a vision — it’s a movement. Seniors and veterans deserve options that let them live their way, with dignity, independence, and community.”

Freedom to Age™: A Better Alternative

The Freedom to Age™ model responds to a national reality: families can pay $11,000/month for assisted living and still see dignity slip away in institutional settings.

Instead, Freedom to Age™ guarantees seniors:
• Freedom of Setting — Home upgrades, pods, membership, or micro-village living.
• Freedom of Independence — Private living, on-demand support.
• Freedom of Community — Walkable layouts, courtyards, shared hubs.
• Freedom from Institutionalization — Neighborhoods, not facilities.
• Freedom of Sustainability — Solar, EV charging, green design.
• Freedom to Transition — A continuum of choices as needs change.
