The Live Together Community concept is longevity in action — providing a training and research center for those organizations brave enough and committed to changing how we serve and care for our elders.
Live Together is an Intergenerational Community Model that supports the intersection of supporting youth to succeed and older adults who desire to continue to have purposeful and meaningful lives throughout their retirement.
The concept is replicable for various types of settings; part of an existing senior living community that is repositioning for the future to integrate multiple generations and integration with the community at-large, on the campus of an existing Children’s Home or similar group home development to engage at-risk youth, older adults, families and the surrounding community, and as a redevelopment concept for existing sites; such a former malls, golf courses, or downtown revitalization sites located in Opportunity Zones.
