Greetings,
Greetings,
I hope everybody had a great holiday! This will be my last newsletter for the year. I have been a bit lazy over the holidays, but I promise to hit it hard next year.

In my search to find stuff related to this topic, it amazes me how much people have been doing for these vulnerable people. Cost is the main obstacle, not the will.

There is a Dementia Village in the Netherlands,The Hogeweyk . This video is 7 mins long, but if you replace Dementia for special needs or the elderly, it is a great example for what we could build. The only difference is that the population should include family and friends. Great ideas on how to build an all inclusive village for everybody.

After looking at this community I really would like to replicate the building design. The same features of spaces, no dark tiles, natural lighting, brightly colored doors and rails, clear cabinets to see inside would work with our population as well.

Another place that I ran into is over in Spokane: OHANA village OHANA Village will be a broadly affordable residential neighborhood of 60 homes with 120-150 residents Although up to a quarter of the residents will be adults with a range of developmental disabilities, diversity will be this community’s greatest strength. OHANA will be multigenerational, with individuals and families of all ages, including mature and retired adults — honored elders who will contribute to a stable and committed culture of caring. In doing so, they will find added purpose and meaning in their lives.

Does it sound familiar ? Only difference is ours will be apartments and not homes.

The social structure of Ohana sounds exactly like ours. They will build micro neighbors. It is a non profit that has been around since 2013, but no buildings yet. But it's great. I thought about homes compared to apartments and felt for the community that apartments world work best for cost and community, like Hogeweyk Village. This would be a great place to sign up if you are from that area.

Quimper Village When I look at senior communities I am also looking at how they are built to utilize our community. This is a 55+ community. Broke ground July of 2016. Bought 3 acres, homes are $400k

Quimper is a Cohousing community: CoHousing Solutions. I will look into the training they have. They have a free seminar Jan 9. Yearly to view their programs is $1200

You may wonder why I am looking at dementia and senior communities. From my perspective the care and design look the same that we need for our community. Especially the building part. I really like the Hogeweyk model and will pursue how we can extract more info from them or possibly join them? It is a registered name.

I also like the Cohousing model, which is a model of unity for the community to live together and not separate (like I have lived most of my life).

We need to come together and join what resources we have to use our brain power and skills to get this built. I can't wait.

That is why I need 2 people to step up and join the board. As soon as we do that we can apply for tax exemption then apply for grants.

My thinking is to lean toward The Next Wave as a non-profit that will concentrate on building the complex. This will be done as a non profit developer. Services will have to be arranged separately from the building, but the building we have to be designed to allow for services. Services could be as simple as a parent looking after their vulnerable adult, to supportive living, to more 24/7 care. We should have all the options available.

Have a great Christmas and New Years and we shall continue next year.
