WMBB discusses the tough question of how our society can care for our aging population as the baby boomers hit retirement. One option for aging boomers is cohousing:
“We think boomers are going to find ways to co-habitate to take care of each other,” Thornhill said. “There’s not going to be anybody else to do it.”
He said one emerging option is co-housing, which combines the advantage of private homes with the benefits of “more sustainable living, including shared common facilities and ongoing connections with neighbors,” according to the Cohousing Association of the United States (www.cohousing.org). Thornhill described it as “a modern-day version of communes.”
