About the Book

Overview

The Senior Cohousing Handbook

A Community Approach to Independent Living

No matter how rich life is in youth and middle age, the elder years can bring on increasing isolation and loneliness as social connections lessen, especially if friends and family members move away.

Senior cohousing fills a niche for senior adults who want to live in a social and environmentally vibrant community. Senior cohousing revolves around custom-built neighborhoods organized by the residents themselves in order to fit in with their real needs, wants, and aspirations for health, longevity and quality of life.

Senior Cohousing: A Community Approach to Independent Living is a comprehensive guide to joining or creating this niche cohousing project. The author deals with all the psychological and logistical aspects of senior cohousing, and addresses common concerns, fears, and misunderstandings. He emphasizes the many positive benefits of cohousing, including:

  • Better physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health
  • Friendships and accessible social contact
  • Safety and security
  • Affordability
  • Shared resources

Successful aging requires control of one’s life, and this generation of aging communitarians will find this book holds a compelling vision for their future.
