12 Feb 2014

"Summary: Aging successfully depends not only on the behaviours of individual seniors, but also on the quality of the places where they live and receive care; The age-friendly-communities movement proposes policies and programs that attempt to improve the material and social environments of older people and help them age successfully; Given limited funding and competing demands for resources, proponents of this movement must prioritize over-ambitious agendas and offer verifiable solutions that do not overlap with other housing, service and care programs"--Page [1].
