Co-housing refers to a housing arrangement that originated in Denmark in the 1960s, bringing together individuals who wish to live in planned communities with private homes and shared common spaces.
These communities are typically self-managed by residents, who control decision-making and infrastructure management. This not only reduces costs but also strengthens community bonds. Residents often form committees to plan community meals and social activities, manage budgets, and oversee maintenance needs.
For seniors, this arrangement offers significant advantages, including reduced social isolation, improved mobility, and enhanced daily life activities. "The communal aspects of co-housing create opportunities for meaningful social interaction while respecting residents' need for privacy," a spokesperson for Dadoun said.
The Smart Seniors Real Estate Podcast discusses various models of co-housing and how this approach fosters social connections that can improve the quality of life for older adults. In the latest episode, Dadoun addresses practical considerations such as the cost of co-housing, location choices, and strategies for maintaining harmonious living environments with co-inhabitants.
A 2020 review of over 2,500 articles on co-housing found a "positive association" with a number of psychosocial determinants of health, including social support, sense of community, and economic security, among other factors.
"As the population of older adults continues to grow, we believe that co-housing will become a viable option for many not keen on more intensive care arrangements," Dadoun's spokesperson said. "While co-housing does not replace nursing home care or assisted living for those who need it, many features make it possible for seniors to remain independent longer."
The podcast provides valuable insights for seniors considering this collaborative lifestyle option in Ontario, including how to find existing communities and what to consider when joining or helping to establish one.
