Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Co-Ho as nursing home replacement

[Joanie Connors (jvcphd]

Nursing homes require serious medical staff and facilities because they
care for people who can't care for themselves.

In my understanding, senior cohousing is limited to folks who are able to
be independent (not sure of the right terminology).

You might look into bridge communities, which I think are a project of the
Methodist Church.
