Elder Moishe and Chickens at MoisheNola

November was full month, filled with an internship, retreat, two new jobs, conference, training, a Thanksgiving trip home, two days in ny, and the addition of four chickens to our MH home.

A few things from this packed month I'd be interested in discussing in more detail:

  • Earthships (worked on a project in East Texas, Earthship Crockett Tx)
  • Social Justice Tourism (either location based or a travel program)
  • City Chickens (Gertie, Pearl, Unnamed Chicken 3, Bubbs are adjusting to their new home)
  • Moishe Elder House (David noted a conversation at the retreat)

Having a cooperative house for the elderly is an interesting idea and makes sense to me for a lot of reasons.  Many are the same as we have in our young professional homes, but added savings for nursing, cleaning, food shopping, medication/medical supply(?).  Seems that there could be a great value added for the elderly, especially widows/widowers and those recently disabled, who may enjoy the company.

Discussing the idea with older people has received mixed reviews.  Some see that older people are not comfortable with change and this sort of program couldn't catch on.  Others see that it could offer a valuable alternative to the typical elder housing.
For me, Elder Housing seems to be a recent deelopment in care for the elderly.  I see the standard Elder Home as a new model distinct from the more rural alternative of "grandmas house" or the urban live-in relatives.  I question whether the model seems natural for the elderly and if the next generation will more actively seek alternatives.
