| Annotation | The authors discuss approaches to services integration for older people in urban and rural ageing environments in The Netherlands, and the preliminary effects of these approaches on local ageing conditions. In urban areas, services integration revolves around the creation of functional spatial hierarchy. In rural areas, the emphasis is on forging links between service providers. Outcomes for health and use of professional care services are similar. Outcomes for housing, informal care and accessibility of services differ between urban and rural areas in ways that can be traced back to local ageing conditions and elements of the specific approach to services integration used. In both urban and rural areas, much more could be done to connect formal programmes to the way of life of older people. (RH). |
