multigenerational housing

A couple of years ago I was with some Ecumen colleagues on a trip to another part of the country for some market research.  We were visiting a really nice CCRC (continuing care retirement community).  It had really nice townhomes and assisted living and memory care, even a children's day care center. It was a cool neighborhood. I asked one of our hosts if they ever thought about creating housing where anyone could live regardless of age?  She looked at me like I had three heads and said:  "No way.  It would never work."

Maybe that's true for some people.  But it's not true for all people.  And that's going to create new "senior housing opportunities" that are simply "housing opportunities" in communities that are truly for a lifetime.
