Shared housing is a living arrangement between unrelated people who choose to live together to take advantage of the mutual benefits it offers. Shared living can provide endless possibilities. Saving Money For many seniors, living on social security or retirement benefits can make it difficult to maintain the kind of living situation they had during their working lives. Living on a fixed income provides challenges in an increasingly expensive world, particularly in regard to the expense of maintaining a residence and the cost of assisted living communities. In recent decades a new trend has developed. Senior Communal Living! Companionship Seniors who live together live a healthier lifestyle because they usually eat better, get more exercise, and are more social than seniors who live alone. Companionship, friendship and a support system are arguably the biggest benefits of home sharing and are part of the reason the phenomenon is trending. Independence and Security Many seniors want to remain independent, however find that the tasks required to maintain their home are more than they can manage. Housemates can share many tasks that would otherwise require professionals. In a shared house you can enjoy the safety of living with someone and not having to worry about forgetting medications (someone is there to remind you) or falling and not being found. We are geared to the relatively healthy single senior (our City License allows for Single Occupancy only) who remains independent and wants to enjoy the luxury and comfort of a traditional home without time-consuming and difficult maintenance responsibilities. Barrie’s RVH hospital and downtown lake front are all within a few minutes of most homes.
