Senior Centers in America presents the most comprehensive and
current examination of this important topic available today.
Written by one of the leading researchers in the field, this book
presents an exhaustive review of local and national studies to
provide a complete and multi-faceted analysis of senior centers.
Major topics include: historical development and changes over time,
center resources and organizational characteristics, activities and
services, factors associated with participation, participant versus
non-participant profiles, linkages and focal point functions,
policy issues such as effectiveness and serving the frail, and
future senior center scenarios. The book is research-based and
identifies areas in need of additional investigation. However, it
is also targeted to practitioners and policy makers and is intended
to assist them in formulating policy and examining issues central
to senior center planning and operation, now and in the future.
Krout makes a strong case for the importance and necessity of
senior centers, and presents a cogent analysis of the issues and
challenges they must respond to in an era of resource shortfalls,
shifting social and health policies, and a changing elderly
population. Readers of this book will gain a greater insight into
senior center issues and a heightened sense of the need to explore
these issues much more fully in the future. For this reason, it
should be read by anyone involved with social services to the
elderly.
