Full description

“Fostering a ‘Community of Care’: Supporting a Shared Experience of Aging in Co-housing” by Magda Goemans explains the history and hopes of a housing project for older adults in Ottawa. As an alternative to more traditional living arrangements, the model adopted by this group is self-organisation and it intends to support the goal of sharing services, as well as to act as a safeguard against social isolation.
