| 500 These are extraordinary times and this quarantine has put a terrible burden on many seniors who are home alone and isolated. Now is a time when community matters more than ever and we'd like to share with you an inspiring story about one such community - Quimper Village Cohousing. Quimper Village is one of the most exciting new senior communities in the U.S.A. because it was started, co-designed, co-developed and largely financed by the future residents themselves. Completed nearly 2 years ago, a new book tells of their extraordinary journey: how they prepared; how they launched; the voyage itself; how they landed; and now how they settled. State-of-the-Art Cohousing: Lessons Learned from Quimper Village demonstrates how they built great relationships with each other to meet their goals. Now, those relationships are key to surviving a challenging time.During the current crisis, the most vulnerable stay at home in Quimper Village - other neighbors buy and even prepare food for them and leave it at their doorstep. These same neighbors assist with prescription drugs, and other needed essentials. Let your parents know and your friends over 50 - don't leave them alone. Tai chi twice a day and other outdoor activities means connection. Everyone is appropriately socially distanced, but not isolated.The residents of Quimper Village created something very special - a neighborhood where people truly help each other in good times and tough ones too.
