| Annotation | This book provides an international overview of the issues and factors that have shaped the development of housing and living arrangements for older people over the last 30 years. It looks at what policies in Western Europe, Canada and the United States have done to meet the housing and service needs of older people, and what is yet to be accomplished. Topics covered include: housing choices and policies at middle and old age in the UK; policy options for creating barrier-free housing for older people with disabilities in the United States and Canada; discrimination against older people seeking accommodation; a case study of post-occupancy evaluation of a continuing care retirement community in Israel; a case study of the potential of the Abbeyfield housing model to meet the needs of older people in rural Canada; neighbourhood amenity preferences among rural and urban older people; the effects of demographic ageing on the urban ecology; and regulation of housing. |
