A group of brilliant Senior women in London created their own inspirational housing solution!

An Inspirational Housing Solution
When the traditional housing options for aging don’t suit your taste or meet your needs, do what a group of British women did.
Imagine something different.
When they did, they came up with an innovative concept, an all-women, co-housing community in North London called Older Women’s Co-Housing (OWCH).
Their vision entails a 25-unit building where residents can help one another out and remain independent and active, despite each person’s disabilities and health challenges.
Shared spaces, such as a garden and a common room for meals and activities, bring people together to combat isolation and create a sense of community.
Even if this model isn’t your cup of tea, you can use OWCH’s story to inspire you to envision something better – and maybe unconventional – for your housing as you age.
