The thoroughly revised sixth edition of Community Resources for Older Adults: Programs and Services in an Era of Change gives students a basic understanding of aging policy that created the "aging network" and the wide variety of programs and services available to older adults. Each chapter provides the reader with a summary of the legislation behind the development of pivotal programs and services, an in-depth review of the program and services provided by the aging network and the non-profit and private sectors, current scholarship in each topic area, and international and national examples, best practices, and online resources.
Key Updates to the Sixth Edition:
• Contains the latest research, data, and real-world developments in every chapter.
• Provides clear, detailed coverage of recent legislation, executive initiatives, and funding priorities.
• Presents expanded examples and case studies—from innovative community programs to international approaches.
• Explores the lasting effects of COVID-19 on policy, service delivery, and community resources.
• Features enhanced Learning Resources such as curated digital tools including podcasts, webinars, and educational videos.
• Includes updated tables, figures, and graphics that make complex information easier to interpret and apply in both academic and professional settings.
This is an ideal text for any undergraduate or graduate level policy or human services focused course in Public Health, Social Work, Sociology or Gerontology.
