I'm Old, Where Do I Go Now???

Most of us want to continue to live at home throughout our lifespan, but we might not feel that it’s easy or even possible, especially if we live alone.
So what are our choices?  Let’s look at the pros and cons of a variety of possibilities. 

*Retirement Community (moving back to the dorms!)
*Aging in place:  (what does that mean?)
*The Village Model  (Malama Village Hawaii)
*Co-housing (Golden Girls Model)
*Intentional Community (living together based on common interests and values)
*Intergenerational Lifestyle  (all the ohana under one roof!)
