Community for Elders

In contrast with a generation ago, the two most distinctive aspects of the Intentional Communities Movement today are: a) the impact of the internet on our ability to find out what’s happening; and b) that so many people over 50 are trying community living for the first time. It used be that first- time community experimentation was almost wholly limited to people in their 20s and 30s. Not any more!

That makes the theme of Elders doubly potent today—both because communities tend to last lon- ger now and because so many join today as seniors or nearly so.When you add in the fact that there’s growing evidence that a sense of community and connection are directly related to longevity and quality of life, it’s no wonder that Communities issues focused on eldering sell out fast.

This Community for Elders bundle has 15 articles that explore the options for aging in community and the dynamism of intergenerational living.
