Book Synopsis Older Adults' Experiences of Community in Municipal Recreation Contexts by : Brooke Gibbons
Download or read book Older Adults' Experiences of Community in Municipal Recreation Contexts written by Brooke Gibbons and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012, the first members of the baby boom cohort, those born between the years of 1946 and 1965, reached the age of 65 (Statistics Canada, 2012). The older adult population in Canada is expected to outnumber that of youth and adults and will compromise majority of the population in 2036. As the Canadian population continues to age, organizations and services need to provide adequate and appropriate social programs to alleviate feelings of social isolation (McNamara & Gonzales, 2011). Seniors' centres provide recreation and social activities tailored to older adults, as well as opportunities to volunteer and socialize. Although widely available, the extent to which older adults use seniors' centres, relative to other community organizations to meet social needs is unknown. Also, there is little research on the provision of recreation programs in seniors' centres by municipal parks and recreation departments. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to understand how the Burlington Seniors' Centre build community for its older adult participants. Data was collected through document analysis of seven promotional materials, policies and procedures manuals, twelve semi-structured interviews with recreation practitioners and older adult participants, and observations of eight recreation programs. Recreation practitioners discussed culture change at the seniors' centre to change perceptions of older adults, and structuring program experiences when developing recreation programs. Older adults valued developing new social connections, improving skills while aging, and experiencing a sense of community with recreation program and volunteer groups. Important insights emerge from this study, namely how older adults can cultivate significant relationships and improve skills in positive and inclusive atmospheres. However, this can be accomplished based on organizational capacities in the recreation department, including number of rooms available for programming, instructors and collaborations with community organizations. Future research areas include the role power plays in seniors' centre contexts, improving opportunities to alleviate social isolation and combating images of ageist attitudes for baby boomers who perceive seniors' centres as a place for the frail elderly.

Book Synopsis Global Age-friendly Cities by : World Health Organization
Download or read book Global Age-friendly Cities written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2007 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guide is aimed primarily at urban planners, but older citizens can use it to monitor progress towards more age-friendly cities. At its heart is a checklist of age-friendly features. For example, an age-friendly city has sufficient public benches that are well-situated, well-maintained and safe, as well as sufficient public toilets that are clean, secure, accessible by people with disabilities and well-indicated. Other key features of an age-friendly city include: well-maintained and well-lit sidewalks; public buildings that are fully accessible to people with disabilities; city bus drivers who wait until older people are seated before starting off and priority seating on buses; enough reserved parking spots for people with disabilities; housing integrated in the community that accommodates changing needs and abilities as people grow older; friendly, personalized service and information instead of automated answering services; easy-to-read written information in plain language; public and commercial services and stores in neighbourhoods close to where people live, rather than concentrated outside the city; and a civic culture that respects and includes older persons.

Download or read book Chocolate City written by Chris Myers Asch and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monumental in scope and vividly detailed, Chocolate City tells the tumultuous, four-century story of race and democracy in our nation's capital. Emblematic of the ongoing tensions between America's expansive democratic promises and its enduring racial realities, Washington often has served as a national battleground for contentious issues, including slavery, segregation, civil rights, the drug war, and gentrification. But D.C. is more than just a seat of government, and authors Chris Myers Asch and George Derek Musgrove also highlight the city's rich history of local activism as Washingtonians of all races have struggled to make their voices heard in an undemocratic city where residents lack full political rights. Tracing D.C.'s massive transformations--from a sparsely inhabited plantation society into a diverse metropolis, from a center of the slave trade to the nation's first black-majority city, from "Chocolate City" to "Latte City--Asch and Musgrove offer an engaging narrative peppered with unforgettable characters, a history of deep racial division but also one of hope, resilience, and interracial cooperation.

Download or read book Families Caring for an Aging America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
