VOICED: Elderly find own way to grow old in comfort

Rose and her sister Genevieve, living in France's Dordogne region, plan to join a new community for the elderly. This community, designed by town planner Lillian Baty, will offer individual accommodations and shared spaces like a library and greenhouse. It aims to be self-managed and ecologically sustainable, with affordable rent. The initiative arose from a desire for a comfortable, self-sufficient lifestyle among friends, avoiding traditional retirement homes.

How does the community plan to address the ecological impact of the buildings?

What considerations are being made regarding the rent for residents?
