Re: Cooperative living for older people
I wonder why the site doesn't come up for you. People have looked at it so should be ok.
unavidabuenasite.wordpress.com is definitely the address. Let me know if still not linking

Well you could say that, but what we have in mind is intentional community, mutual aid, and self running as you will see if you look at the links...

Re: Cooperative living for older people
Should that be 'international' community ?

No, intentional was intended, it hopefully will also be international!

Re: Cooperative living for older people
I am not in Spain. Please keep us posted in progress. What's your thinking. Or rather what are you outcome hopes? There may be a lot of people interested who do not necessaraly live in Almunecar at present
Re: Cooperative living for older people
We are open to ideas at this point as we think it is important to have a strong group who are aiming for roughly the same outcome... an active and participatory older age win a community that offers mutual aid ...keeping costs down and buying in care as needed.
Re: Cooperative living for older people
Date of first meeting is 20th October, second meeting 7th November. At 6pm at the Casa de CUltura in Almunecar. Hope to see Afew of you there!
Re: Cooperative living for older people
They do have something like that in the States dont they! Everyone lives on an Estate with people over a certain age and there are a lot of facilities. I do remember a friend of mine a few years ago that he was living in California on a private Estate for the over 60´s and doctors etc as well as lots of activities going on, but no one was alone and there were service for people who were disabled etc. Seems like a good idea to me. But costly I think.

Re: Cooperative living for older people
an update on the Una Vida Buena project
We are forming an association at present which we are planning to turn into a housing cooperative later. This is going to be a solution to aging well here in Spain and will be a way of sharing services as we need them.
We are viewing a potential property in Almunecar on Wednesday 29 th March at 4 pm although no decisions have been taken as yet. Potential new members are welcome to take the opportunity to meet us and look round ...we think it could take a couple of hours. Please contact us on [email protected] or via the website unavidabuenasite.wordpress.com and we can give you directions or arrange lifts.
