Thanks so much for watching. Would love to hear your thoughts on Share Kanazawa and if you think this could be a potential model for other communities around the world?
Kanazawa is my hometown before I moved to Tokyo..so thank you for featuring it !
This is an amazing concept. Quite well thought out. I was wondering about the extent of government involvement and costs – like how disproportionate is it compared to current models.
In Denmark they have the same.
Only they pay sex workers to offer services too.
And you can get drunk all day if you so choose
Japan is really so far beyond the rest of the world its nuts
this is an amazing concept… this type of care is needed in America … respect, kindness, learning and care for each other is needed I am amazed at the concept of this way of living … very well done. god bless you all
If only America thought this way the elderly would be happy they made this town to benefit every one so people can all chip in and live a healthy lifestyle smart.
I never wanted to be an alpaca so bad
I am covered with goosebumps and feeling teary. I cannot state how strongly I love this concept. It's beautifully rendered. I am 60 and my friends and I often have conversations about what we'd like to see with regard to community living in our wisdom years. I am most definitely going to share this video with them. Thanks so much for sharing it!
What a lovely concept ! This is what is missing from many senior living resorts – that you have just the elderly all around, no youngsters. This model takes care of that! The elderly and the young – they both need each other.
It would have been nice if they'd shown the interiors of one of the residences where the seniors live.
What a bright 💡, love it
Great effort
I wonder whether the community works as it’s designed for. Go back and check it out for the viewers.
You have some good ideas that the USA needs to implement .
What a wonderful community.
i'm curious what they charge the elderly to stay
I enjoy learning about the microcosm that the designer has created with the fostering of relationships between different residents in an organic manner. Well done
A total WIN/WIN situation!
This brought tears to my eyes. I so wish USA had something like this.
What a cool place!
Please build something like this in San Jose, Ca!!!🌎❤️
i am planning an assisted living center and wanted to offer free childcare for employees..this enforces how important connection of young and old are important.
Thank you for sharing this. Love the innovative thinking.
I really LOVE this concept of mixed living!!! We need this all over the world.
I'm in the process of seeking a retirement community for my elderly mother, and I so wish I could help her settle into as engaging a community as the one profiled here. I love the multi-generational approach embraced by this community, and I wish there were a way to see more of that in action. Thank you for showing us an alternative path for assisted living.
I want to live there now! It's Terrace House for all ages. I'd watch a reality show filmed here.
This is lovely. It reminded me of a proposal from Sweden. Many years ago, there was a pilot program proposal to change the zoning of all of the apartment buildings in a city in Sweden. All of the ground floor apartments would be reserved for the elderly. All the floors above would be for families or single adults. The idea was for the residents in the building to stop by to visit the elderly on the ground floor- to ask if they needed anything from the supermarket and or to just visit and chat. The feeling was that this would be beneficial for all. Children on the upper floors would have some relationship with their elderly neighbors downstairs and all would gain a sense of shared community. It was also believed that this kind of model would diminish the loneliness and isolation for all. The idea was to challenge the tendency to segregate and silo the elderly- but to integrate them in and within the neighborhood and community. I suspect that legal and bureaucratic obstacles may have sabotaged the proposal.
I love the student/disabled/elderly model! Why don't we do that here?
Thank you, Risa, for sharing your experiences on Modern Age TV. The videos are sooo informative and inspiring! We all have to think about our own senior living as early as possible… THANK YOU! GREAT JOB!!
This beautiful!! Great video thank you.
This is fantastic!
This is really beautiful. Senior Living is so important. I used to volunteer on the board of a senior program here in my town and it felt really good to see the big impact it made for those people and their families. Thank you so much for sharing!
I love this so much. Brilliant job, Risa and crew! What a gorgeous and thoughtful place to live for everyone. Makes me want to cry, it's so beautiful!
What a great idea to integrate and create opportunities for various age groups and backgrounds to connect and interact and support one another. It seems they're taking it back to how communities SHOULD BE instead of everyone living on their own and only taking care of themselves where they dont even know who their neighbors are. This is such a wonderful idea. It seems a bit quiet but I hope it blossoms as a community and that it becomes a positive example for similar communities around Japan and throughout the world. Thanks for shooting this beautiful video.
This is absolutely phenomenal. Combining old & young, & keeping everyone engaged & involved as much as they can be in living fully is a boon to older people. Wondering what the population is of the community living there. Confusion re the cost. Can you clarify what he meant?
I know of an elder who resides part of the year at what was once called leisure world – a retirement community for 55 and older fit and lively people. I’ve heard of Vi village in Palo Alto that serves an active elder community. And I’ve heard of an organization called Green House Project that is a home based assisted living program that’s in about 25 states. These setups have a bent for either assisted living or active lifestyle clients – not integrated multineed communities that include children or the disabled and students and families focusing on symbiotic assistance within a micro community.Which to me seems far more engaging and emotionally stable.
Great Video!
Why don't we do elder care like this here in the states? It's maddening. This makes so much sense for everybody who participates in/lives in the facility. There's still a great opportunity for private corporations to make a solid profit in this kind of setup. I feel like this could work here in New York with public/private stakeholders. This makes me want to live in Japan… Great video. This info is impossible to find. Thank you for giving this info to those of us whose lives are upended as we try to figure out how to care for our aging parents.
