“…Porém, este fato pode resultar em um severo isolamento, visto que o contato social passa a ocorrer em esporádicas saídas, que vão diminuindo cada vez mais no decorrer do tempo. As barreiras nos acessos a serviços, custos e espaços físicos inadequados para as necessidades específicas nas moradias convencionais também desafiam este envelhecimento no local (Mahmood et al, 2022), onde intervenções singularizadas de apoio ao envelhecimento devem integrar as dimensões físicas, sociais e tecnológicas.…”

“…Um dos benefícios conferido ao formato de moradia baseado nos princípios de cohousing, relatado por Mahmood et al (2022), é a acessibilidade relacionada ao custo da habitação, sendo de 15% a 20% inferior ao valor de mercado. Visto que a maioria dos projetos de moradias colaborativas são autodesenvolvidos, inexistem despesas adicionais associadas à margem de lucro e ao marketing, ao contrário do que ocorre nos empreendimentos imobiliários conduzidos por meio de especulação do mercado imobiliário.…”

O envelhecimento populacional ocorre de forma acelerada no Brasil, trazendo desafios a serem enfrentados pela sociedade. Este fenômeno é impulsionado por diversos fatores, incluindo o aumento na expectativa de vida. As mudanças nos perfis familiares desempenham um papel importante neste cenário onde, com famílias menores como nova realidade contemporânea, implicam no suporte de cuidados antes compartilhados. Esta realidade demanda ações imediatas para apoiar esta mudança demográfica, objetivando novas formas de morar que apoiem o envelhecimento saudável com qualidade de vida, autonomia e independência. Desta forma, o objetivo desse estudo foi pautado em identificar características do formato cohousing para o envelhecimento, favorecendo o Aging in Place. Uma abordagem exploratória foi empregada utilizando a metodologia integrativa para este estudo, com busca de artigos nas bases de dados nos indexadores ABCD_USP (PubMed, Medline e BioMed Central). Os resultados deste estudo evidenciaram que os modelos colaborativos, como o sênior cohousing, podem ser uma solução para favorecer o envelhecimento na comunidade, compartilhando responsabilidades e criando uma rede de apoio.

“… 35 Interdependence also occurs in naturally occurring retirement communities. 36 Likewise, it occurs when older couples work together as one unit so that they may successfully perform their daily activities following a change in health status. 37 In some cultures, interdependence is the norm of everyday family life; when a member of a family or social circle requires care, other members of the circle pitch in to support the person in need.…”

The global pandemic expedited the adoption of AgeTech solutions that aim to help older adults maintain their autonomy and independence. This article examines the negative impact of the Western worldview of autonomy and independence on older adults. Negative impact can manifest as ageism and may be compounded by intersections of identities with race, gender, and culture. We propose an inclusive framework for health leaders, one that is not binary or categorical, but instead, on a continuum: (1) relational autonomy which assumes that relationships form one’s identity; therefore, no one is autonomous to the exclusion of others, and (2) interdependence which proposes that one’s lifestyle choice is supported by interreliance with aspects of one’s environment. We examine two examples of AgeTech from the perspective of relational autonomy and interdependence and discuss how health leaders can use this inclusive framework to ensure that their services do not discriminate against older adults.

“…NORCs have been described by Kloseck et al [4] as "untapped resources to enable optimal aging at home" because they offer social-relational connections and build on the strengths of communities. Since the initial paper by Hunt and Gunter-Hunt [3] defining NORCs >30 years ago, there has been a growing body of literature on NORCs and NORC-SSPs; specifically in the last year, 3 review papers have conducted broad explorations of aging-in-place models, including NORC programs, from different perspectives [5][6][7]. Mahmood et al [5] described key barriers and challenges of NORC-SSPs as well as cohousing and village models within the domains of the age-friendly communities framework.…”

Background As Canada’s population ages, there is a need to explore community-based solutions to support older adults. Naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs), defined in 1986 as buildings or areas not specifically designed for, but which attract, older adults and associated NORC supportive service programs (NORC-SSPs) have been described as potential resources to support aging in place. Though the body of literature on NORCs has been growing since the 1980s, no synthesis of this work has been conducted to date. Objective The goal of this scoping review is to highlight the current state of NORC literature to inform future research and offer a summarized description of NORCs and how they have supported, and can support, older adults to age in place. Methods Using a published framework, a scoping review was conducted by searching 13 databases from earliest date of coverage to January 2022. We included English peer- and non–peer-reviewed scholarly journal publications that described, critiqued, reflected on, or researched NORCs. Aging-in-place literature with little to no mention of NORCs was excluded, as were studies that recruited participants from NORCs but did not connect findings to the setting. A qualitative content analysis of the literature was conducted, guided by a conceptual framework, to examine the promise of NORC programs to promote aging in place. Results From 787 publications, we included 64 (8.1%) articles. All publications were North American, and nearly half used a descriptive research approach (31/64, 48%). A little more than half provided a specific definition of a NORC (33/64, 52%); of these, 13 (39%) used the 1986 definition; yet, there were discrepancies in the defined proportions of older adults that constitute a NORC (eg, 40% or 50%). Of the 64 articles, 6 (9%) described processes for identifying NORCs and 39 (61%) specifically described NORC-SSPs and included both external partnerships with organizations for service delivery (33/39, 85%) and internal resources such as staff, volunteers, or neighbors. Identified key components of a NORC-SSP included activities fostering social relationships (25/64, 39%) and access to resources and services (26/64, 41%). Sustainability and funding of NORC-SSPs were described (27/64, 42%), particularly as challenges to success. Initial outcomes, including self-efficacy (6/64, 9%) and increased access to social and health supports (14/64, 22%) were cited; however, long-term outcomes were lacking. Conclusions This review synthesizes the NORC literature to date and demonstrates that NORC-SSPs have potential as an alternative model of supporting aging in place. Longitudinal research exploring the impacts of both NORCs and NORC-SSPs on older adult health and well-being is recommended. Future research should also explore ways to improve the sustainability of NORC-SSPs.
