Thinking about eternal youth may be a diverting intellectual exercise. But as a matter of scientific fact, we know that strong and stable relationships and immersion in communities result in people living longer and healthier lives, and the loneliness that too often grips people’s later years has the reverse effect. The idea of co-housing, whereby people – often of all ages – are resident in communities built on mutual help and everyday socializing, embodies exactly that realization. So, at their best, do the kind of modern retirement villages where people live in their own spaces and have access not just to the company, but an array of services and life-enhancing leisure options.
