I am very curious to see where these discussions go. I really appreciate living in a mixed age community, and would find that hard to give up. One of my grandmothers lived in a minimally assisted living community that shared the services of one person who came in and helped 10-15 people with an assortment of chores. She helped people put on their compression stockings, getting in and out of the bath, and some household stuff. If a community had a few elders in need of some additional support, and some others in need of a little help around the house, I'd bet you could find someone happy to work for many people in the same complex. Another strategy I have seen is for people who need frequent but non-medical help, who have an extra room, to rent the room to a college student, starving artist or broke young relative and offer discounted rent, or no rent in exchange for assistance.
