Show Notes
Ireland’s first purpose built senior living community has opened its doors to new residents. The Heritage Village is based on an Australian model, with a community hub that provides a range of supports from medical care to home maintenance.
When finished it will have 160 homes, purpose built for over 55s with many still working. Supported living could help people downsize and help with the housing crisis. And keep the elderly out of nursing homes.
Henry McKean toured the Heritage Village at Killenard, County Laois and sent this report.
