The Senior Cohousing Handbook (2nd Edition)

 By Charles Durrett
New Society Publishers, 2009

While multi generational cohousing might be attractive for some seniors, many are seeking an alternative way to age with others who are in the same stage of life — they are looking for mentorship from other elders as they experience elderhood themselves. This comprehensive manual provides step by step guidance on how to form a community, as well as a detailed series of study sessions (borrowed from a national Danish model) that a group might undertake to verify that they are ready for to embark upon the process of living in community and how they might consider accepting or offering help from others as they age. This is a great resource for those curious about, and proactively planning for, the latter third of their lives.
