Title Elderburbia : aging with a sense of place in America
Authors Philip Stafford
Publisher Santa Barbara, CA: Praeger, 2009
Description 187 p.
Summary With the first of the Baby Boom generation well into midlife, the number of Americans at or nearing retirement age is both unprecedented and expanding. Elderburbia argues that ageing is not about time and the body, but about place and relationships - it gives readers a deeper understanding of how the ageing experience is shaped by where people call home, as well as a look at what makes a place well-suited for post-retirement living. It also takes readers inside innovative elder-friendly community planning around the United States, particularly AdvantAge - an initiative to help counties, cities, and towns prepare for the growing number of older adults who are 'aging in place,' as opposed to moving to retiree-only communities.
