Sounds like where an 87 year old Harry Potter will spend his golden years.
Replicating this concept in the US would be difficult because of compliance to hundreds of state and federal regulations. In most states such a project would have to be licensed as an assisted living facility and forced to comply with regulations that are based on a totally different care model. I could also see significant problems obtaining approval for such a project under local zoning ordinances. I managed regulatory affairs for a national developer of retirement housing facilities that offered a full spectrum of care. I know first hand how difficult it can be to get regulatory approvals for senior housing options that do not fit the traditional nursing home/assisted care models envisioned in the regulations.
Portmeirion! Love it!
Some say the sentence should read: You are, number 6.
