Cohousing-L Mailing List: senior cohousing

[Dennis . McCracken (Dennis.McCracken]

Does any one on the list know of cohousing for seniors, maybe of graduated
levels of infirmity/ambulation, age spread. I'm thinking of a situation like
in the movie "Cocoon" :healthy oldsters on the perimeter, less mobile folks
toward the center. Nice to have a intellectual/spiritual tone too. I have
heard of a group like this in California run by Quakers but also heard it
closed down

I'm an aging boomer with a partner who has a chronic illness. Together we have
lost three parents whose last days were pretty rewarding because they lived in
close knit family communities. We looked at communes in the sixties, but the
cohousing alternatives sound even better-- nice mix of autonomy and community.
Just haven't seen any of the flavor were looking for.

Appreciate any direction,
Dennis
