Any library strong in gerontology or social science and many a general lending library needs this. - James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review </p> <p> As a Baby Boomer, I've joked for a few years that we'll all end up living communally again because Social Security will be broke...This is one of the better ways to envision it.-- <i> Sacramento Bee </i> </p> <p> 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. </p> <p> Senior cohousing fills a niche for this demographic--the healthy, educated, and proactive adults who want to live in a social and environmentally vibrant community. These seniors are already wanting to ward off the aging process, so they are unlikely to want to live in assisted housing.
