SHARED LIVING FOR INDEPENDENT SENIORS
A community-based idea for dignity, companionship, and security
The context
Many educated seniors today live alone due to life circumstances. While independent, they often face uncertainty related to isolation, health events, and financial strain.
This initiative explores a voluntary shared-living arrangement where independent seniors live together as equals—supporting one another while retaining autonomy and privacy.
