| Annotation | Gerontological literature includes relatively few examinations of senior centre programming aimed at frail older people and their physical and mental health needs. This paper presents a detailed review and critique of published studies on this topic, and identifies the elements that seem to be common to the development and operation of such programmes. A number of interesting approaches have been used in senior centres to serve this population, but the data needed to evaluate their effectiveness are not available. This paper outlines the questions that need to be examined, if we are to have a better understanding of the impact of senior centres on frail older people. |
