By Beth Baker<\/span> – Vanderbilt University Press, 2014<\/em> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Will your current home be the right place for you to live out your days? If you’re thinking of relocating\u2014or helping someone else to do so\u2014and hope to find the best living arrangements for aging well, look no further than this book. You may be surprised at the unique ways people are thinking about \u201ccommunity\u201d today. Baker explores the cultural shift that offers older people many models beyond residential care: cohousing, aging in place, living among people with shared interests, to name but a few. She thoughtfully explains the positives and the shortcomings and includes anecdotes from people who’ve chosen each lifestyle. Baker even includes questions to ask before signing contracts, suggestions on how to pay and, if needed, guidance for finding supplemental care. This is a well-researched and illuminating peek into what’s just around the bend for both individual and community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
