Co-living for seniors challenges conventional retirement accommodation models. Rather than isolating in expensive retirement villages or enduring institutional nursing homes, senior co-living combines private space with shared community. For Christians aged 60-75 who value independence but recognise isolation dangers, Godsolve offers structured co-living where private furnished rooms provide personal territory whilst communal spaces, shared meals, and Christian fellowship create connection. This model suits capable seniors managing self-care independently but desiring daily human interaction, shared faith community, and cost-effective living that preserves retirement savings for family or ministry. Senior co-living rejects both solitary conventional housing and institutional aged care, creating third-way accommodation addressing loneliness, affordability, and purpose simultaneously through Christian community frameworks.
Senior co-living at Godsolve means intergenerational community, not age-segregated complexes. Younger residents bring energy and fresh perspectives; mature members contribute wisdom and stability. This dynamic, rooted in shared Christian values, creates vibrant living environments where age becomes irrelevant and character defines community.
Located in Glenwood and Umbilo, Godsolve properties provide simple furnished rooms, communal kitchens with gas cookers and fridges, reliable internet access, and most importantly, Christian faith community creating meaningful connection.

⭐ 4.4 / 5 from 59 Google reviews • Safe, peaceful, Christian-based accommodation in Durban.
The weekly Bible studies and life-coaching helped me grow in my faith and deepen my relationship with God.
I do not regret choosing this accommodation. I grew mentally and spiritually attending the life-coaching and church every week.
One-of-a-kind place that values faith and is safe. The owners work hard and truly care.
Cost, structure, and community model differ fundamentally. Retirement villages charge buy-in fees and monthly levies for age-segregated complexes. Co-living offers affordable month-to-month accommodation in intergenerational Christian community without institutional overheads or ownership requirements.
Room arrangements vary by availability. Some rooms are single-occupancy; others are shared. Pricing reflects configuration. All residents have personal space within rooms (bed, cupboard, storage) and access communal areas for cooking, fellowship, and gathering.
Christian values and rigorous screening create respectful community culture. Conflicts happen rarely but are addressed through house leadership when they arise. The intergenerational nature often reduces typical age-peer tensions whilst creating mutual appreciation across decades.
House rules prohibit overnight guests to maintain community safety and structure. Daytime visitors are welcome in communal areas with advance notice. This policy applies equally to all residents regardless of age or circumstances.
You control your participation level. Shared spaces (kitchen, lounge) create natural interaction opportunities. Weekly Christian gatherings provide structured fellowship. Beyond that, you choose whether to share meals, join conversations, or maintain privacy in your room. Balance is possible.
Our safety standards include rigorous screening, zero alcohol/drug tolerance, mature community culture, and Christian accountability. Many seniors feel safer in structured co-living than isolated conventional housing, though co-living requires capability for independent living.
