Summary "Re-creating Neighborhoods for Successful Aging provides a crucial foundation for confronting the growing aging population's demands for appropriate housing and environments. This current demographic shift is causing a transformation of attitudes and perspectives about growing older, retirement, and senior housing. To ensure that physical environments meet the changing needs of older adults, a reconception of housing, communities, and neighborhoods is required." "Drawing from the fields of gerontology, health sciences, community planning, landscape architecture, and environmental design, this groundbreaking resource provides an in-depth examination of current elder housing practices and strategies, alongside goals for the future. Housing models, such as continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), shared housing, and co-housing, are evaluated, and best practice recommendations are presented." "The book closes with an inspiring look at opportunities for future collaboration of health sciences and planning and design professionals for the realization of supportive, life-affirming communities thai will result in healthy aging, active living, and continued community participation for older adults."--Jacket.
