Seniors in Cohousing – Webchat with Katie McCamant
-- THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURED --
Thursday 30th of September 2021 12:00 pm (AEST)
Cohousing Australia and Co-operation Housing, Western Australia are please to invite you to this special event.
Senior Cohousing is an innovative solution to meet the unique needs of an aging population. Cohousing aims to address the largest obstacles to aging gracefully; including isolating environments that instil loneliness and fear, and over-sterilized, impersonal environments of nursing homes and elderly care facilities. Aging in community allows for a boost in interaction among seniors and offers an important safety net of social inclusion and purpose.
During this webchat Katie McCamant, from Cohousing Solutions, will share examples and stories of senior cohousing communities. We guarantee, you’ll be inspired!
About Katie McCamant – Katie has successfully guided a number of senior cohousing projects from the initial brainstorming phase through construction. She brings the depth and diversity of her 30+ years of experience as an architect, developer, and cohousing resident to her clients.
