Here is an example groundrule for intergenerational living that is available in 13 states in Germany 🇩🇪:
WOHNEN FÜR HILFE
Als Faustregel gilt: Pro Quadratmeter bezogenen Wohnraum eine Stunde Hilfe pro Monat. Das macht für ein 15 Quadratmeter großes Zimmer 15 Stunden Mitarbeit monatlich. Die einzigen Kosten, die den Studierenden entstehen, sind Nebenkosten wie Strom, Wasser und Gas.
Maybe it is getting better with arts and music communities. I’m 65 and didn’t enter Austin’s theatre community until age 56, when I wrote my first play. I have people of all ages support me and become good friends within that community.
I have a girlfriend my age who is into punk rock and in Austin there are small venues all over town with 50- and 60-year olds playing every week, men and women punk rockers over 50.
I’m guessing in the arts it’s easier to escape ageism than in the workplace.

Yes! Thank you. I was particularly thinking of Germany and Netherlands from my own experiences. I will look carefully at your link in my morning.
