Heumann and Boldy define and analyze emerging programs to help
the frail and low-income elderly stay out of institutions and age
in place in their communities with proper support systems. The case
studies presented describe the latest thinking and innovative
public program solutions to aging in place in highly developed
industrialized countries, including Australia, Canada, Great
Britain, Israel, Japan, Sweden, and the United States. Heumann and
Boldy link these studies and describe the conditions and
constraints under which existing programs function.
Chapter 1 examines the benefits and limitations to aging in
place policies and programs on the broadest level, including the
economic trends that have created the urgency for new government
policies. Chapter 2 presents the classification system of aging in
place solutions so that the case examples can be viewed in a
comparative context of approach and government commitment. Chapters
3-7 discuss subsidized housing solutions in the United States,
Canada, Great Britain, and other developed countries. Chapters 8-12
review community support programs in Australia, Israel, Sweden, and
Japan. Chapter 13 summarizes the case findings, adds data to the
editors' overall classification model, and discusses how government
assistance could and should evolve in the future. Aging in Place
with Dignity is designed to help government and voluntary-service
planners and providers at the federal and local levels deal with
the complex and urgent problem of enabling the frail elderly to age
in place.
