“We have better instincts.” That’s what my new friend Mary said to me when I was telling her about the idea that more senior citizens could be sharing housing.
That’s a hopeful idea. Seniors have spent a lifetime of living. Even if they haven’t shared their housing, they have certainly met many people through work and social activities. They have had the opportunity to observe and to participate. They’ve learned when their first instinct about a person turned out to be true and when it didn’t.
It would be interesting to read stories about interviews when you immediately knew it would or wouldn’t work with the home seeker. Do you have such a story?
