Shelter and Service Issues for Aging Populations takes you for an inside look at what policies in Western Europe, Canada, and the United States have done to meet the housing and service needs of the elderly and the disabled and what policies have yet to accomplish. As you learn about a wide range of cost-effective and successful housing options, such as congregate housing, home equity conversions, and homesharing, you will learn about the challenges of providing responsive, high-quality housing and living arrangements to meet the needs of different populations. As this insightful book reveals, the psychosocial needs of elderly and disabled persons have often been neglected in efforts to provide appropriate physical accommodation, and services and shelter are seldom coordinated to respond to the changes individuals experience.Shelter and Service Issues for Aging Populations shows you how federal and state/provincial governments, nonprofit organizations, and private groups have all implemented policies to create barrier-free housing. Yet, at the same time, most Western countries have not developed comprehensive grant and loan programs to allow the elderly and disabled to modify their homes. As this book walks you through the problems that exist, it shows you how policymakers, architects, social work practitioners and academics, housing developers, and community leaders can work together to improve housing conditions and services. Along the way, you will learn about: the failure of health care systems to cover home modifications the Fair Housing Act Amendment stigmatizing effects of the “elderly” label in obtaining community accommodation differences between environmental needs of rural and urban seniors current patterns of housing and living arrangements of older Canadians the effects of demographic aging on the urban ecology the Abbeyfield model of congregate housing continuing care retirement communities aging in placeShelter and Service Issues for Aging Populations looks at the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to housing and service provision to help housing policy specialists, gerontologists, social workers, community leaders, architects, and housing developers find stronger, more effective solutions for giving people the home environments they need. Don't continue to supply inadequate housing to people with special needs. Let this book inform you, guide you, and contribute to the shaping of important, new housing and service policies.

Find out how housing options for the elderly are changing—and not always for the better To maintain or improve their quality of life, many seniors in the United States will move to new locations and into new types of housing. Housing for the Elderly addresses the key aspects of the transitions they’ll face, examines how housing programs can help, and looks at the role social workers can play to ensure they remain healthy, happy, and productive as they age. Housing for the Elderly provides the tools to build a comprehensive understanding of how housing is changing to support the growing number of elderly persons in the United States. This unique resource examines a full range of housing options, including assisted-living communities, elder friendly communities, and homelessness; looks at the effects of the Olmstead Decision of 1999, which requires states to place persons with disabilities in community settings rather than in institutions; and summarizes current research on Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs). The book also presents a historical perspective of housing issues for the elderly, with a special focus on the discrimination of African-Americans. Topics in Housing for the Elderly include: creating elder friendly communities homelessness among the elderly in Toronto housing disparities for older Puerto Ricans in the United States grandparent caregiver housing programs how the Olmstead Decision affects the elderly, social workers, and health care providers New York State’s experience with NORCs relocation concerns of people living in NORCs the integration of services for the elderly into housing settings-particularly low-income housing moving from a nursing home to an assisted-living facility assisted-living and Medicaid and much more! Housing for the Elderly is an essential resource for social work practitioners, administrators, researchers, and academics who deal with the elderly.

Special Aging Populations and Systems Linkages educates professionals working in geriatric settings about the needs and issues of several emerging special groups within today's aging population. It gives readers examples, guidelines, and a theoretical framework for developing successful linkages between aging and non-aging service systems to meet the service needs of these special populations. By exploring the challenges and barriers faced by service systems attempting to work together, Special Aging Populations and Systems Linkages provides a blueprint to those working with cross-system interest groups, task forces, and councils. The book informs readers of the epidemiology, issues, and concerns of some specific populations of older persons including: persons with developmental disabilities alcohol and substance abusers cancer patients persons with HIV/AIDS the abused elderly older caregivers Chapters in this timely book provide treatment experiences with these special populations and with linking systems as case histories for the professional. These case histories help social workers understand the needs of special older people with whom they work and facilitate negotiations among service systems and agencies so that older people facing special challenges secure the help they and their families need. Special Aging Populations and Systems Linkages asserts the absolute imperative for social workers and other geriatric professionals to understand the subpopulations which make up the 65-plus cohort in the U.S. and fosters creative thinking about service organization and practice issues generated by the diversity of this population. Students at all levels of gerontology programs; staff in the aging network (service personnel, administrators, and senior center directors); community service personnel; staff of Area Agencies on Aging; social workers in geriatric health care settings; public health educators; and social workers in service agencies for each of the special populations--mental retardation/developmental disabilities, cancer care, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, adult protective services, child welfare--can refer to Special Aging Populations and Systems Linkages for insight time and again as they strive to meet the diverse needs of the entire aging population.
