Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Aging in Place - from Regine at Nevada City cohousing

[regine (chknsoup1]

 We make meals for people if they are in recovery from something and give rides 
if someone needs it but it’s informal.  One thing older people who are alone 
can do is take turns with a friend calling each other every night to make sure 
they are both Ok.  They don’t have to talk - just say “I’m OK”.

Again I’m asking how those in the over 65 age group in multigenerational 
communities are working together to
assist aging in place in communities which were not originally designed with 
aging members in mind.

Thank you!
