I have a dream. A dream where people with long illness etc can convalescence somewhere lightly supported where we are well fed, and can rest, walk, stretch, nap as much as we need to. A community where we share tips, experiences, humour, and companionship.

Kinda like a hospice, but for people who need help living. Or an intentional household with shared supports.

Interested?

☝️There's still one day to vote on this survey re convalescent centric communities and collaborative care.

So if you are tired or struggling for any reason, anywhere, drop a vote and maybe a comment. We are still at blue sky thinking here, but we're all falling through care gaps, maybe it's time to catch each other instead.

I will designate the tag #convalescentCommunities as a gathering place to plan/hope.

@vlrny I would love to live in a place like this.
@EJGilbert Well here's hoping we can find a way to make it happen. 🤞
