Annie Russell lives alone but not in solitude.
While she was laid up for almost nine months by an injured knee, neighbors checked in on her regularly. They brought her ice packs, fetched water and did her grocery shopping.
Twice a week year-round, everyone in Russell's community is assured dinner with friends in the large common house of Silver Sage Village in Boulder, Colo. It's a potluck of sorts. Residents can cook the meal together in a communal gourmet kitchen.
"If somebody just wants a place to live and doesn't want to commune with their neighbors, this is not for them," says Russell, 68.
