Is microhousing a viable alternative to aging poorly in place?

Mon, 10/18/2010 - 12:32 - Laurie Orlov

Separated by distance from adult children, perhaps they suffer from isolation and poor health and other downsides that Dr. Golant spells out in some detail. He recommends that moving out of one's own home need not be viewed as a tragedy, suggesting options like NORCs or village approaches for shared services, moving in with family members, or moving to a smaller home or condo.
