Creating spaces for an active life in old age. Our society is aging, and the numerous service offerings designed to facilitate the daily lives of older individuals may not always be affordable in the future. This book explores whether alternative housing models, particularly communal living, are of interest to housing companies. It contrasts traditional housing forms such as serviced living, assisted living, and living in nursing homes with alternative housing models, for example, communal living for young and old, including experiences from abroad. The book is aimed at the housing industry as well as those interested in communal living.
