Shelter and Service Issues for Aging Populations takes you for an inside look at what policies in Western Europe, Canada, and the United States have done to meet the housing and service needs of the elderly and the disabled and what policies have yet to accomplish. As you learn about a wide range of cost-effective and successful housing options, such as congregate housing, home equity conversions, and homesharing, you will learn about the challenges of providing responsive, high-quality housing and living arrangements to meet the needs of different populations. As this insightful book reveals, the psychosocial needs of elderly and disabled persons have often been neglected in efforts to provide appropriate physical accommodation, and services and shelter are seldom coordinated to respond to the changes individuals experience. Shelter and Service Issues for Aging Populations shows you how federal and state/provincial governments, nonprofit organizations, and private groups have all implemented policies to create barrier-free housing. Yet, at the same time, most Western countries have not developed comprehensive grant and loan programs to allow the elderly and disabled to modify their homes. As this book walks you through the problems that exist, it shows you how policymakers, architects, social work practitioners and academics, housing developers, and community leaders can work together to improve housing conditions and services. Along the way, you will learn about: the failure of health care systems to cover home modifications the Fair Housing Act Amendment stigmatizing effects of the “elderly” label in obtaining community accommodation differences between environmental needs of rural and urban seniors current patterns of housing and living arrangements of older Canadians the effects of demographic aging on the urban ecology the Abbeyfield model of congregate housing continuing care retirement communities aging in place Shelter and Service Issues for Aging Populations looks at the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to housing and service provision to help housing policy specialists, gerontologists, social workers, community leaders, architects, and housing developers find stronger, more effective solutions for giving people the home environments they need. Don't continue to supply inadequate housing to people with special needs. Let this book inform you, guide you, and contribute to the shaping of important, new housing and service policies.

This report defines the urban and rural study areas. It illustrates how the presentation of data has become more sophisticated since 1971 and permits more detailed analysis of rural and urban differences, particularly in the urban/rural fringe areas of large metropolitan centres. It also provides a detailed discussion of population and household trends by size of centre and region. It includes information on socio-economic trends in urban and rural areas. It looks at housing supply trends in urban and rural areas, highlighting differences by tenure, type, construction activity, age, and condition of the stock, and housing amenities. Finally, it examines core housing need and compares the incidence and type of housing problems in rural and urban areas.

Rural America is progressing through a dramatic and sustained post-industrial economic transition. For many, traditional means of household sustenance gained through agriculture, mining and rustic tourism are giving way to large scale corporate agriculture, footloose and globally competitive manufacturing firms, and mass tourism on an unprecedented scale. These changes have brought about an increased presence of affluent amenity migrants and returnees, as well as growing reliance on low-wage, seasonal jobs to sustain rural household incomes. This book argues that the character of rural housing reflects this transition and examines this using contemporary concepts of exurbanization, rural amenity-based development, and comparative distributional descriptions of the "haves" and the "have nots". Despite rapid in-migration and dramatic changes in land use, there remains a strong tendency for communities in rural America to maintain the idyllic small-town myth of large-lot, single-family home-ownership. This neglects to take into account the growing need for affordable housing (both owner-occupied and rental properties) for local residents and seasonal workers. This book suggests that greater emphasis be placed in rural housing policies that account for this rapid social and economic change and the need for affordable rural housing alternatives.

This important new book on granny flats--mobile, one or two person living units, separate from the main residence but connected to the main house utilities--reveals the most recent approach to housing for the elderly. As the percentage of the population over age sixty-five steadily rises, granny flat programs will become an increasingly popular option for fairly independent, healthy, and mobile older adults who have difficulty maintaining a larger home but wish to avoid the restriction and expense of institutions. This landmark book outlines the history of the development of granny flat programs in Australia, New Zealand, England, the United States, and Canada and presents, for the first time, the important information needed to aid in saving time, money, and effort in the development of the granny flat as a viable housing option for elderly persons. As the success of granny flats depends on the interaction of several sectors of society, this groundbreaking book provides valuable policy planning information and will be necessary reading for social workers, gerontologists, government departments concerned with housing, homebuilders and developers, urban/rural planners, and geographers. Topics of interest and benefits that are discussed include the role of the private sector through provision of portable housing, the need for an increase in community-based services for the elderly, the need for the creation of local, regional, and state government policy on granny flats, the maintenance of quality of life and independence for elderly persons, and most importantly, critical factors for increasing success in the implementation of future granny flat programs.
