elder care and housing  

Définition

  • In the United States and other urbanized countries, there is a continuum of housing alternatives for older adults, ranging from residential living situations for healthy, independent adults to residences for those who may be frail and require assistance. (Increasingly, the term older adults is used when talking about housing alternatives and other services for people who have long been referred to as “retirees,” “senior citizens,” or “the elderly.”) In developing countries and countries with economies in transition, aging persons have historically remained in the family home or in extended family settings.
