Elder Co-Housing |
Friday Feb 15 2008
Co-housing initiatives began in the 1970s in Denmark. Elder
co-housing projects are the latest take on this popular type of
housing development. With an emphasis on cooperative living
arrangements, these projects allow like-minded people to live in an
intentional community of their own creation. The idea is that
individuals have their own living areas, but share common facilities
like dining rooms and kitchens. Developers often allow residents to
help plan and design the common areas. The advantages of living in such
a community include ongoing opportunities to connect with other people,
eat regular meals, and stay active and engaged...while still
maintaining some independence.
