This is a very interesting article from a woman in Canada.
She accurately describes the situation for our aging baby-boomer population and sets out a list of principles and goals for the group she represents in Canada.
Their project is to raise funds and build a continuing care model, is that something we want to do here?
There is much to read and digest in her article. I see a lot of overlap in the principles of her project and what we would like to see here in Arcata. I checked out her Facebook group (Raise the Roof – Retirement Options for Women); however, there isn’t much discussion there yet. But one of the wall comments leads to a link to a project in Portland, The Sheldon Cooperative. I have not read any of that website yet.
