Shared Senior Living

Sharing.  We are taught as small children that this is the way we should approach life.  Robert Fulghum in his brilliant treatise, "All I really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten," listed "Share Everything!" as the top thing that he learned.  It seems like an essential block in society, but somehow we seeming to forget it.
In the past year, we have learned about "the sharing economy."  It's fascinating.  People turn their homes into hotels and restaurants.  They use their cars as taxis and car rentals.  People are available to do all sorts of odd jobs.
A few years ago, I read about airbnb.  I thought it was the dumbest thing that I have ever heard.  There had only been one time that I really couldn't get a hotel room and that was for the Super Bowl.  Since I am a lifelong Jets fan, it turned out not to have been too important.  Why would anybody need to stay on an air-mattress in an apartment when there were Super 8 motels.  But they have.
I don't think that we have a shortage of taxis or hotels, but we do have shortage of affordable senior living.  That is why I am establishing the marketplace for what I call "Shared Senior Living."  Follow this blog.  I will introduce you to the principles of Room2Care.com.  Room2Care is the first end to end marketplace for shared senior living.  You don't know much about it now, but follow this blog and check out the web page and I'm sure that you will quickly relearn what they taught you in kindergarten.  (or what you saw on Barney)  Sharing is Caring and Room2Care redefines it.
