"How have programs for older adults evolved? Who uses these resources? How are they delivered? And what challenges do service providers face in meeting the needs of the aging baby-boom generation? Community Resources for Older Adults: Programs and Services in an Era of Change, Third Edition, answers these and other critical questions by providing a theoretical framework for understanding the forces that shape older adults' likelihood to seek assistance." "This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate courses on community services and programs for the elderly found in gerontology departments and departments of social work."--Jacket.
