Volume IX – Community for Elders

Are you looking for a community to spend your elder years? Aging in community is both a common pursuit and a growing trend. Whether it is to find a community of cohorts more dynamic than a retirement home, or a multi-generational community with wide range of diversity and activity, there is a lot to explore for elders.

The following 15 articles examine who, how, and why to grow old in community.
