В здоровом теле здоровый дух

Об этом знали ещё древние греки.

Почему важно оставаться активным не только физически, но и умственно?

Любопытство и любознательность помогают оставаться в форме! И то, и другое необходимо для познания нового. Кроме того, человек может постоянно учиться, и пожилые люди - лучший тому пример.

В этом смысле возраст - совсем не преграда для новых знаний. Напротив, пожилые люди, приобретая благодаря любознательности новые знания и навыки, обретают и многочисленные преимущества:

• Большее удовлетворение и ощущение счастья
• Усиление эмоциональных связей
• Умственный тренинг
• Препятствие развития болезней, таких как болезнь Альцгеймера. Научно подтверждено, что одиночество значительно влияет на состояние сердечно-сосудистой системы и развитие деменции.

И "век живи - век учись". Отдавая и организуя, Вы знакомитесь при этом с новыми, интересными людьми, которые Вам за это ещё и благодарны.

И благодаря этому общению Вы сами можете узнать для себя много нового.

Вывод: Выигрышная ситуация, в которой выигрывают обе стороны!

You were thinking that a shared apartment is only for the students.

Because of increasing prices on real estate, in many cities, this type of living grant, not just financial preferences, is also a good solution to combat loneliness in elder age!

It is approved, that loneliness is a disease of the 21st century. It makes elder people suffer psychically and physically. Undoubtedly, life in society is much better, as sharing thoughts with like-minded people brings us to life and we feel confident in the group.

That is the reason that the coliving of elder people in a shared apartment becomes a more and more popular form of living in the country and entirely in Europe. Living in society is the same as having the opportunity to have privacy in Your own space and advantage from various services upon requirement.

Briefly said two or more elder people are living in one apartment like students and use care and assistance services altogether. 

To find out if you will feel comfortable in an apartment for elder people please read further: below we list all the advantages and disadvantages.

 

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages – Community as a “new family”.  

1. From a practical point of view:

• Lower price for rent compared with individual apartment
• Higher purchasing power due to saving time and money
• Practically – increased amount of subsidies, i.e. for adaptation of living space.
• Cooperative use of service providers (i.e. home-help/cooking)
• Authorities to make decisions: participation in daily planning (task distribution, use of shared facilities)
• Cooperative use of shared apartment allows spacious and comfortable living
• Different types of care: from hourly to daily care for elder people, palliative care, short-term care, ambulatory care, preventive care, intensive care.

2. From the point of view of the quality of life:

• Social life and new relationships: friendly communication and motivation by other residents
• Joint activities (joint ventures and hobbies, evenings, games, etc.) and mutual support
• Absence of scheduling for meals, watching TV, and other activities
• You are socially integrated and active
• Despite the social life, high level of privacy for residents (private rooms)
• Your relatives do not worry, as they know, that you are safe.

Disadvantages

• Limited choice of compatible, limitless apartments and concrete offers
• Possible conflicts with roommates
• Mutual attention is required: coliving with other people requires flexibility, readiness for compromises and conflict situations
• You need carefully choose roommates to have similar social and educational levels, as well as the same interests. 
• A double relocation may be required if later the complete hospital care will be unavoidable.

 

Expenses and prices for coliving for seniors

Every resident in the apartment pays for rent for his/her own living space and also proportionally pays for the rent of shared living spaces, such as kitchen, bathroom, and living room.

Generally speaking, the price of a rental in a shared apartment is lower compared with individual apartments. However, the price of the rent for apartments for elder people usually is higher, than in regular apartments, as the apartment or the house are architected in a barrier-free manner and contain special equipment, taking into account the age and disabilities of the residents (additional elevator, lift for bathroom, etc.).

 

Benefits for ambulatory groups for living arrangements – Benefits for groups for living arrangements at the amount of 214 Euro per month   

If you use coliving with care, You can receive care services with other residents. If combined, economic resources for services may be used much more effectively, which allows saving time and money. Residents of ambulatory groups for living arrangements, who received an acknowledged level of care may receive insurance payments for long-term care. Entities residing in apartments with shared living (coliving) and receiving care insurance, in-kind benefits for ambulatory care and assistance, have a right to receive a so-called residential group allowance. It accounts for 214 euros per month insofar at least two other roommates at the residential group have acknowledged the level of patient care.      

 

Care proposal

Each of us asked himself/herself a question: “What if I will need care?” In this case, the community of elder people also suggests several advantages. As it was mentioned before, ambulatory care could be undertaken jointly for the residential groups of elder people who need care. It helps to cut costs, i.e. due to reduced expenses for bus fares. If more than one residents receive benefits for care, the money can be combined and due to lower rental price, more money can be used for care services or additional equipment (i.e. systems for emergency call of professional services).  

Briefly about advantages and disadvantages of coliving of elder people Advantages: 1. Coliving for elder people is like a “second family” – life in society and communications 2. Cooperative use of service providers means lower expenses, so higher purchase power 3. Increase in subsidies and wide range of care services:    - Benefits for care, in-kind benefits for ambulatory care, care and assistance services    - At least three residents in a shared apartment with care level – benefits in the amount of 214 euros per month for care for residential groups in shared apartments.   Disadvantages: 1. This type of coliving is not for everyone –mutual respect is of great importance. 2. In the case of complete hospital care, a need for relocation is to be considered.

 

What if there is progressive dementia?

Alzheimer’s disease is a neuroevolutionary disease, which deeply affects a patient’s personality, as well as negatively impacts equilibrium. For that reason importance of living space has vital importance for the well-being of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Nowadays communities for people with dementia are becoming more and more popular and humane options than nursing homes. Generally, if the disease is not at an advanced stage, patients may receive diverse services or care. In most cases to maintain the care and privacy of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, ambulatory care is appropriate. 

The nurse is responsible for the care and medical treatment, which allows the patient to live in his/her own house. In some cases, nurses may reside at the place of residence of the Alzheimer’s disease patients if 24-hour care is required. People who need 24-hour care or medical care may benefit from coliving in a shared space for patients. Coliving helps to be more active and manage Alzheimer’s disease due to full and purposeful life.

Advantages of coliving for patients with Alzheimer’s disease:

Simultaneously, you can feel free, because you have confidence that a wide specter of services is available right now or probably, a little bit later, as the needs dictate. The service ranges from home assistance, outpatient nursing to 24-hour care.
