The growing unease about the future—increasing concerns about the viability of Medicare and Social Security in the United States; the escalating instability of world economic and political forecasts; the disturbing rise globally in the hostility, violence, and murder of women; and the increasingly alarming instability of governments across the world towards autocracy—has convinced many aging women that elderly communal living is their safest most reliable option.
In a two-part blog post, BEC Integrated Solutions will present affordable and dependable answers to equipping your elderly communal living colony with the tools necessary to keep community members safe and connected to each other and the outside world.
“The concept of “women helping women” has a long history. In the 14th century, widows in Northern Europe formed shared living communities called “beguines,” living in small collectives and working together. This was a daring alternative way of life at the time, since society had no place for unmarried older women – most widows in that era had to choose between becoming a nun, or living in poverty as an outcast.
“The idea of older women living together as a kind of adopted family was popularized in the 1980s by “The Golden Girls,” a long-running, critically acclaimed and still-beloved TV sitcom about four older female roommates living together and relying on each other after widowhood and divorce.
“More recently, family and relationship experts and writers have started to explore and promote the idea of “deliberate communities” and shared living spaces as a way to save resources and provide better social connections – even if the people living in these shared spaces are not part of a “traditional” nuclear family.” Source
