Riassunto

In this motivating book, professionals explore an array of programs for the elderly--all sponsored by religious organizations--that have been successfully implemented in communities throughout the United States. Their common goal is to meet the social, emotional, religious, and health needs of the elderly. Religious organizations constitute by far the largest single network of voluntary community organizations serving the needs of elderly in American society. Experts thoroughly examine the programs, including potential residents, services provided, and financial resources. Topics include geriatric health clinics in the community, day centers for older adults, share-a-home, legal guardianship, congregate housing, retirement homes, long-term care facilities, and more.
