Three cool things in senior housing coming over the "Changing Aging" transom:
1. Green Development: More communities are embracing senior housing development that’s beneficial to people
and the environment. For example,
The Residences at Creekside in Lakewood, CO, which opened earlier this year have a ton of solar power and other environmental friendly features (and it’s a cool looking building, too).
2. Purpose Workshops: The Purpose Project of the
University of Minnesota’s Center for Spirituality and Healing helps people answer the question, "Why Do I Want to Get Out of Bed Today? That’s important because it’s essential to successful aging.
Augustana Homes of Minneapolis is holding Purpose Project workshops.
3. Avenidas Village in San Francisco: This
village is not a place but the latest membership program that helps people stay in their own homes by providing support - everything from the medical to the mundane. This type of senior housing will no doubt continue to arise across America.
