Join us in discussing these topics:

- Leaving a legacy: We need to do succession planning before it becomes a crisis or a contention that tears apart a co-owner residential community.
- Intergenerational communities: Age brings experience, youth brings new perspectives. Care for children and the aged must be shared, incorporating experienced caregivers and support.

The Foundation for Intentional Community posted that a European study published in 2022 on older co-housing residents found a high level of satisfaction, closer social ties, a greater sense of personal security, and the ability to manage their own lives longer.

Naren Bakshi, an advocate and event organizer for the elderly, reports the following:

> Solo agers are a growing group, with more never-married, unpartnered, and childless adults. And [if] adult children live far away, they have a child with a disability who can’t care for them, or they are estranged, more aging adults are looking elsewhere for support….You just need a well-intentioned community to help you have agency over your future life, people who can help you maintain your dignity and autonomy.

FIC also has a course titled [Aging Gracefully in Community](https://www.ic.org/aging-gracefully-in-community/)

Here are resources to pass along to those you know who may feel insecure about finances or caretaking as they age.
