Senior Residence Sharing

Seniors Living Here, Living There

This page is for Senior Citizens who would like to participate in planning independent Senior  Residences Sharing. Seniors sharing residence accommodation seems a reasonable alternative to living on one's own.

Qualifications


Version 1-2 January 25, 2015.

We wish to connect people who are between 60 and 75 who are interested in sharing living accommodations.

This list is a growing dynamic list. We will add to it as needed.

 1. Fit
 2. Independent
 3. Financially secure enough to cover their share of the living costs. It is possible that people can combine just CPP and OAS resources. That is what we are investigating with this project.
 4. Can be single or coupled, but if coupled then both partners must meet all qualifications.
 5. Must have no debilitating disease processes needing assisted living. If assisted living is required then one of the community  assisted living options should be chosen instead.
 6. Qualified for CPP and OAS and be bringing in about $1,100 a month from those that they can dedicate to housing.
 7. Fluent English.
 8. A valid Canadian Passport.
 9. No criminal convictions. Must submit to a police check.
 10.   Willing to work in gainful employment (not volunteer work) at least part time. Possibly two 3 hour shifts four days a week. The purpose of this requirement is to bring in some extra money for that person. The income generated from this employment must be divided in two with 50% saved for long term care. The rest is spending money. Ask about our Wellness Agent Commission Plan as an option to earn some extra money.
