Create Collective Housing Complexes for Older Adults as Well
A reader letter suggests adapting collective housing models, like the 1828 complex in Gouda, for seniors to combat loneliness and improve living conditions through shared spaces and resources. Another contributor questions the ethical implications of using robots in elderly care, citing concerns about emotional dependency and social isolation in the Netherlands. A third writer rejects societal pressure on women to avoid aging, advocating for natural acceptance of wrinkles and grey hair. Finally, a tribute recalls author Sjoerd Kuyper’s beloved children’s book 'Robin' and shares a personal anecdote about receiving a handwritten thank-you note from him before his death.
