I am sorry, we have not figured it out yet. We are in the process of 
exploring what others have done to help us figure out what we can do.

In community,

help neighbors who need to retire [before they otherwise would] and/or 
become disabled in some way, so they won't have to leave our community 
because of either financial or support or health care reasons. We would 
appreciate learning about how other established communities are dealing with 
this. [end quote]
  Thanks for raising this issue. There are a lot of people who are in this 
situation. Will this support system include helping people who are 
physically able to hold a paying job and would like to find a job to find 
one?
