Changing Aging

Interesting article in today’s Star Tribune on a new senior housing development being built in Prior Lake by Presbyterian Homes.  It’s a senior housing development that will ultimately combine a Lutheran Church, YMCA, medical center, and youth center.

This is a fabulous approach and a complete no brainer! Boomers told us in our Age Wave study that they want to be close to church, health care, shopping and they want to live in a “community,” not an institution. Kudos to Shepherd on the Lake  for their vision and for integrating senior housing into their larger community.
