Home sharing is the Golden Girls model; it’s one house with everyone having their own bedroom, but sharing common spaces. Benefits include not only sharing costs, but also a sense of safety and community. More information on home sharing can be found at: www.nationalsharedhousing.org.

Co-housing is another aging-in-place model; sometimes it’s thought of as a “modern commune” where residents can stay connected to each other. To find out more about co-housing, please visit: www.cohousing.org.

Phoebe Services blends home sharing/co-housing into a multi-generational “village” environment where residents can draw support from professionals and from each other.
