From The Senior List:
In my work with families who are placing a loved one in a care
community, I am often asked about the future of long term care. Many
people I talk with are uncomfortable with the concept of long term care
for themselves but think it’s adequate for their parents. I have good
news and bad news: There is an alternative to long term care options
known as Elder cohousing, but don’t expect it to show up in your
neighborhood anytime soon...
There are three
elder cohousing projects that have been completed in the US. The three
lucky states are Virginia, California, and Colorado. To date, there are
eight elder cohousing projects actively underway according to
Eldercohousing.org. Some communities are spearheaded by a group of
friends or neighbors; others are formed by a few members who then
recruit other future “neighbors” for investment and participation.
