| Annotation | This monograph (co-published simultaneously as Journal of Housing for the Elderly, vol 18, nos 3/4 2004), features seven articles, the outcome of a national conference, "Linking Housing and Long-Term Care Services for Older Adults" held in New York City in February 2004. Assuring adequate access to necessary long-term care (LTC) services is often identified as an ageing issue, but the fact that housing can be a significant problem for older adults is often overlooked by policymakers and the public at large. Even less apparent to many is the connection between the two areas, despite the fact that people's ability to receive services is often contingent on where they live. Moreover, the potential to increase the quality of both services and housing can be greatly enhanced when the two are considered together. This issue is receiving greater attention since the US Supreme Court's 1999 Olmsted vs L.C. decision, which requires states to provide services "in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of qualified individuals with disabilities" (http://www.cms.hhs.gov/olmstead/default.asp).
