| Synopsis: |
As the number of people over age 75 - and especially over age 85-increases dramatically in the' United States and other industrialised nations, there is a growing need to create and adapt housing for this group of older, more frail citizens. Offering the first systematic comparative analysis of the subject, Housing Frail Elders draws on the experiences of several countries to highlight effective approaches and propose directions for the future. Chapters present information on housing in Denmark, Sweden, Great Britain, The Netherlands, Germany, Israel, Canada, the United States, and Australia. Each is based on the same general outline of topics: demographics, current housing arrangements, approaches to housing policy since World War 11, the relative effectiveness of policies, and future directions. Throughout, the contributors emphasise the transferability of experience with programs and policies. |
