In this highly practical volume, the contributing authors explore
some of the dimensions associated with aging in place. There are
increasing numbers of older Americans who are faced with
fundamental changes in their economic circumstances, health, and
marital status which have an impact on their ability to age in
place. Without the necessary supports many may have no other choice
but to be prematurely or inappropriately placed in costly health
care facilities or be forced to move into unfamiliar, less safe,
less satisfactory housing environments. Aging in Place explores
some of the dimensions associated with aging in place and informs
readers about unmet needs and available living options for elderly
persons. Experts discuss a number of crucial factors regarding the
availability of social supports and the impact it has on the
independence of the elderly, specifically their living
arrangements. They address the issue of control and how access to
social contact and real choices about services and facilities
increases independence among the elderly; congregate housing as an
alternative to nursing care for those elderly too frail for less
supportive housing; discharge policies concerning frailty in senior
living arrangements; and the lack of a full range of services in
many alleged full service communities.
