Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first detailed study of the economic, social, and administrative implications for the establishment of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Leaders in the field of optional living arrangements for the elderly examine models of continuing care retirement communities throughout the United States. A wide range of sometimes conflicting views are vigorously discussed--by proponents of continuing care communities as well as by representatives from states that do not allow the existence of such institutions. Other intensely debated topics include existing and recommended financial and legal regulations of the industry; legal, financial, and ethical implications of continuing care communities; and a sociohistorical overview of the concept of continuing care.

Book excerpt: 'Continuing to Care?' describes the challenges of an aging America and changing family system. Caregiving has always been a primary obligation of the family based on an informal intergenerational contract that specifies 'who owes what to whom.' This system of intergenerational reciprocity has been a central feature of American family life and has formed the foundation for successful social programs such as Social Security and Medicare that support older Americans. Recent changes in the American family threaten the intergenerational family contract. Changing definitions of family, increasing divorce and remarriage rates, the establishment of blended families, and dramatic changes in the age structure and intergenerational composition of the family affect the ability of this important social unit to continue to provide care to its members. Change in the American family system raises some difficult personal and social questions. What is the obligation of adult children to elderly frail parents? Are we expected to provide care ourselves or is supervising care provided by others an acceptable alternative? Do the same rules apply in the case of step parents? What is a childs obligation to a long absent father? Can Americans continue to juggle responsibility for their children with the demands of careers and the needs of aging parents? How much longer will we do it? And what will society do if we decide to stop? These questions need to be addressed as we reexamine our families caregiving role. 'Continuing to Care?' brings these questions into the public forum for consideration and debate.

Book excerpt: A continuing-care retirement community (CCRC)or life-care communityis a residence and nursing care option designed to respond to the needs of elderly persons as they need more supportive services over time. Although CCRCs have been in existence for some time, little longitudinal research has been conducted on these facilities. In Continuing-Care Retirement Communities the authors present a multifaceted portrait of CCRCs since the mid-1980s. With a review of community organizational and economic status and interviews of over 2,000 CCRC residents, the study examines resident profiles, resident satisfaction, differences among the communities, and controlled comparisons with elderly people in other settings. The book also analyses and integrates the findings as a whole, deriving implications for policy, planning, and future research. This documentation of the quality of life for CCRC members will be of use to gerontologists, educators, researchers, health policy and finance professionals, CCRC managers, and federal and state regulatory agencies. "In the growing field of continuing-care retirement communities this is a groundbreaking and significant publicationa mini encyclopedia of what is now known about life care communities with all their variation. This is an invaluable resource for planning future development and internal programming and for gaining a better understanding of the reach of social research which tries to probe not only the readily popular statistics, but the less traceable dimensions of human behaviors and choice taking as more and more citizens begin to consider how to plan for their aging years." -- Robert Morris, Gerontology Institute, University ofMassachusetts

Download or read book Aging in Place written by Leon A Pastalan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly practical volume, the contributing authors explore some of the dimensions associated with aging in place. There are increasing numbers of older Americans who are faced with fundamental changes in their economic circumstances, health, and marital status which have an impact on their ability to age in place. Without the necessary supports many may have no other choice but to be prematurely or inappropriately placed in costly health care facilities or be forced to move into unfamiliar, less safe, less satisfactory housing environments. Aging in Place explores some of the dimensions associated with aging in place and informs readers about unmet needs and available living options for elderly persons. Experts discuss a number of crucial factors regarding the availability of social supports and the impact it has on the independence of the elderly, specifically their living arrangements. They address the issue of control and how access to social contact and real choices about services and facilities increases independence among the elderly; congregate housing as an alternative to nursing care for those elderly too frail for less supportive housing; discharge policies concerning frailty in senior living arrangements; and the lack of a full range of services in many alleged full service communities.
