istries and several local churches,
businesses and civic organizations,
Garden Spot Communities broke
ground in December 2016. Volunteers included Garden Spot Village
residents and staff, local churches,
businesses, civic groups, colleges
and the local high school.
The outcome includes a cooperative living house, where five
biologically unrelated older adults
live together and share a common
residential structure. Each person
(or couple) has a private suite, including a bedroom and a bathroom.
Common areas include a shared
kitchen/dining room, living room,
den, laundry, storage areas and
garage, plus outdoor spaces.
With the first house now
completed, the real part of this experiment in Grace begins. History
has shown that social engineering,
prescribing how people should live,
has had less than positive outcomes.

GARDEN SPOT VILLAGE

What is unique about this house
is that it addresses needs where
conventional models for dwelling
have failed. The reason for living
cooperatively fills a gap for seniors
living alone. Our hope is that it
offers a richer and rewarding life
for each member of the house, and
eventually a neighborhood green.
The end goal for the project goes
beyond completing the next four
houses that are planned for this site.
Our desire is that other retirement
communities and towns will adopt
this or a similar model, to meet
the needs of lower income seniors
within their own communities.
