Welcome!
I am involved in the Aging in Place industry here in the United States. We have an important new trend emerging and has been picked up by the media where unrelated older adults are living together as roommates. However, they don't like that designation and are looking for something to distinguish them from college-aged people. Your segment on "Roommates" doesn't adequately address this important topic.

Older adults seek roommates for two reasons. First, it is a financial decision. They simply can't afford the rising cost of living alone in America. Second, they are discovering the elements of companionship that make it easier to stay in their home and live much longer.

I would like to help develop a separate topic on this subject as part of a discussion on Aging in Place. How do I go about doing this?


 * Hello! Probably the best place to start is THIS PAGE, which talks about all the things required for a stand-alone article. If you'd rather make incremental additions to existing pages, such as "Roommates", as you mentioned, the best way to start is to go to the Talk Page for the article you'd like to modify (Every page has a "Talk" tab right above the article title), and add a section to the bottom of the page, describing your ideas. Finally, there's always the motto here of Be Bold!, which says that if you can make an article better, go for it! Just be prepared to discuss and explain it on the talk page if another editor reverts your changes. I hope this helps! Electric Wombat (talk) 15:33, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
