Living self-determined in a community - in a supported retirement shared flat
Many older people wish to live independently, even with increasing care needs – preferably in a familiar, manageable environment. An outpatient supervised senior shared living arrangement is therefore a contemporary form of housing. A supervised senior shared living arrangement offers co-residents the opportunity to live in a community while retaining their own private space – a room or an apartment.
In a supported senior shared apartment, several older adults live together and organize their daily life as a community. Everyone benefits from mutual support. Each resident has a private retreat in their own room or apartment. Professional assistance is provided by a home care service, delivering individually tailored care and support – just as much as needed or desired.
The homelike atmosphere fosters joy of life, social connections, and a sense of security in daily life. Family members can stay actively involved and help shape the community. This creates a form of living that lies between independent apartments and residential care: communal, flexible, and focused on self-determination.
