Forming and Living in a Seniors’ Cohousing: The Impact on Older Adults’ Healthy Aging in Place
Older adults in the twenty-first century are engaging in different activities to promote their healthy aging in place. The purpose of this article is to describe older adults’ experiences of forming and living in a seniors’ cohousing community, and its impact on their healthy aging in place. The author conducted a secondary data analysis of qualitative data. Seventeen older adults from a seniors’ cohousing community participated in the previous study. The findings from the secondary analysis of data showed that living in the building supported the older adults’ independence, social interaction, safety, and mental health, as well as provided supportive services. An implication of the study is for policy makers, service providers, researchers, and society as a whole to collaborate with older people to address their needs for healthy aging in place in the community.
