Co-life 2.0 - Designing a co-living for the elderly

Life and old-age

Old age is one of the very periods when there is uncertainty and a fragile view towards life, as hope and morals are sought in the social connections and bond with loved ones. This age is beyond the age wherein one can handle abrupt changes in lifestyle or the way one lived for the past decades. The connection with the past is of innate importance in front of an uncertain future.

Seniors all around the world experience a certain change during this period, where the fast-paced lifestyle shifts to a slower one. Considerably changing the world for them in a short period. In this period they experience that they have ample time and resources to share. But with time their physical capacities have limited them to a certain level wherein there are restrictions. To acknowledge these restrictions there is a need for creating an environment that not only provides them what they need; but also looks after their wants.
