Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Aging in Place

[rebecca.selove (rebecca.selove]

Hi Ed. As an over-65 Member of a forming multi-generational community 
(www.burnsvillagefarm.com) and previous resident of another (Blueberry Hill), I 
will appreciate more information about your question. Assisting with aging in 
place seems to me to have many dimensions.  What is on your group's list of 
concerns? I think about having others pick up groceries and medication, and 
providing transportation which seems fairly standard.  Are you thinking of 
structural changes like ramps and stairs railings? Or arrangements for in-home 
assistance? Please say more. We have a video of a presentation Sherry Cummings 
gave our group about aging in place in Cohousing that I can share. Thanks.
