Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing and chronic illness

[fords (fords]

I am a professional with a disability, (multiple sclerosis), and view 
co-housing as a natural place for living independently but with a support 
network.   Persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses are often 
substantially independent but need that assurance that help is around if 
needed. Aside from a few accomodations that are really just common courtesy 
a disabled person will not require any more support than others in a 
supportive, caring community.

I am not in a co-housing community but considering it as a viable lifestyle.

Any comments?
