Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Shared services

[Sylvie at Hotmail (s_kashdan]

Hello Lyn,

has Rosewind considered developing a plan in conjunction with The 
Village Movement, which is dedicated to  Aging in Community. The Village 
model is gaining national attention as an affordable option for seniors 
who want to age-in- place and maintain independence.
Villages are not-for-profit membership organizations offering 
comprehensive support and social engagement to seniors wanting to stay 
in their homes.
Villages are locally developed.  You can find out more at:

Here in Seattle, as my partner and I age, we have begun to develop 
relationships in The Wider Horizons village  network to fill the support 
gaps that our cohousing community, which is multi generational, are not 
prepared to help us with.

The Wider Horizons Village website can be found at:

Cohousingly,

Sylvie Kashdan
