Abstract
Abstract While the term “age-friendly” has become ubiquitous in the field of social gerontology, a clear definition of the term remains elusive. In an effort to clarify the role of age-friendly initiatives, Menec and colleagues presented a framework focused on social connectivity within an ecological model. The articles in this special issue address issues raised by this approach and its implications for policy, programs and scientific research.
期刊介绍:
Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
