Early in 2024 a group of eight of us got together to discuss what aging well at home would look like for us. As seniors, we wanted to take ownership of both challenges and their solutions. A member-owned co-operative seemed like the right fit. Guided by the NL Federation of Co-operatives, we developed our community service co-operative (non-profit based) and in corporate in June 2024. Since then, we started offering social, educational, transportation, and other home-based services to members and the public. For us, aging well means overcoming isolation and loneliness by developing a thriving community with personal relationships, support for our members, and services for the communities we are part of. Aging well at home and in our community is the ultimate goal.
