Cohousing-L Mailing List: Daily check ins?

[Nancy Morehouse (nmorehouse]

Our Welfare Team is trying to figure out how to standardize daily check in.

I live in Wolf Creek Lodge, an adult co-housing community community.  This 
summer we have experienced acute life threatening emergencies for 2 single 
members.  They were discovered just by chance and survived but we are concerned 
that someone could die in their home without being able to let someone know 
they were in trouble.

We have held a Community discussion in hopes that we could get some ideas how 
to do this.  Instead we got a variety of opinions:  Some singles were already 
checking in with another member daily; some were interested in establishing a 
system but had no ideas how to do this; some were opposed to having a regular 
check in.  But there were no innovative ideas about systemic regular check ins.

How does your community handle this issue?
