Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the diverse range of housing options available to the elderly population with this excellent new book. This timely volume addresses the public policy and design and development issues that must necessarily face those concerned with housing our steadily growing elderly population. The chapters cover a broad spectrum of populations including elderly people in “aging ghettoes” in suburbia, continuing care retirement community residents, full-time recreational vehicle travelers, and the homeless elderly. The authoritative contributors go beyond descriptions of wide-ranging elderly housing options and delve into the central themes that influence them all. Optimizing Housing for the Elderly explores some common considerations such as personal security, food and medical services, independence, and social interaction, that are important determining factors when selecting a style of housing, and addresses economic questions including advice on reducing costs in popular continuing care retirement communities, currently inaccessible to lower-income elderly people. Professionals involved in any aspect of housing for the elderly will benefit from the information in this insightful book.

Download or read book Housing Decisions for the Elderly written by Leon A Pastalan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1995-09-25 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because many elderly wish to age in place, they typically give little thought to the future of their housing options. Housing Decisions for the Elderly articulates the relevant issues regarding the diversity and complexity of housing decisions in terms of moving or not moving. To move or not to move is really part of the aging-in-place debate. In this guidebook, the authors deal with such issues as changes in economic income and stances; changes in household composition and health; and the psychosocial and metaphysical significance of “house.” This treatment of housing decisions regarding aging in place serves to assist professionals and laypersons to help the elderly make more informed choices and to plan better for the future. Housing Decisions for the Elderly reminds those who work with elderly persons--community organization workers; housing counselors and specialists; home health care agencies; and gerontologists--that the proportion of persons living in family settings decreases with age, so that the older the person, the more likely he or she will be living above or with nonrelatives in institutional or quasi-institutional settings. While changes in household composition typically occur at one or more points in the aging process such as death of spouse, incapacitating illness or loss of income, other housing issues to consider are addressed: why socioeconomic determinants of housing decisions of elderly homeowners focuses primarily on housing characteristics (owning vs. renting), length of housing tenure, age, and support from relatives how elderly housing assistance programs affect housing tenure deals with age as the single most important factor factors that influence pre-retiree’s propensity to move at retirement access to health care, freedom from house maintenance, and supportive services as the main determinants of moving to a continuing care retirement community

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demographics of the United States are gradually changing. Americans are living longer and having fewer children. By the year 2030, more than 20 percent of the population will be age 65 or older. As a result, society faces a newly pressing need for elder housing. This report explains the physical and psychological needs of the elderly. The authors give an overview of the processes that affect perception and ability as we age. They then move to the wants and needs of the elderly, most notably the desire to remain in their own homes or neighborhoods. Strategies such as elder cottages, accessory apartments, and innovative financial plans are presented as ways for seniors to both remain independent and enjoy a high standard of living. Sections on manufactured housing, site planning, transit, and the fiscal impact of high concentrations of elderly persons complete the discussion. A great overview of possible options on a topic that every planner should be considering.
