At Belong, a supportive housing complex for people with dementia in Chester, England, residents can find companionship from unlikely neighbors: infants and preschoolers who attend nursery school on the ground floor. The building includes plenty of meeting rooms and common areas to bring children and their “grand friends” together for both impromptu gatherings and planned activities.
It’s one example of intergenerational housing aimed at tackling loneliness among older adults. Emerging developments, mostly in the UK and the US, integrate senior living homes with daycares or college campuses, with shared-site designs that can encourage more ways for socialization than traditional facilities.

The root of urban uprising
"If we don’t address chronic displacement trauma, we will have unrest again. Unless we do the equitable development that needs to be done, it’s going to be unrest today, unrest tomorrow and unrest forever."

How many percent of our senior citizens living alone can afford a comfortable seniors home at an affordable price. Poor not necessarily indigent senior citizens are hardly represented in our society. In our barangay there was a senior citizen center, a one-storey building that was torn down. A new building for offices instead. In the old building, the senior citizens had a place for dancing and other activities. There is a day care in the compound. Do you have similar stories of best and worst practices on budgeting and project implementation for senior citizens. Thanks
