dc.description.abstract | Recent studies have suggested that a greater number of older
adults prefer to age in place rather than move to a retirement home
(e.g., Cohen-Mansfield, Ali, Frank, 2010). One outcome of this
trend is that a larger number of older adults are remaining in their
neighborhoods while younger, more mobile residents are moving
out. This creates neighborhoods that are Naturally Occurring
Retirement Communities (NORCs). NORCs are described as a
community not planned or designed for senior adults but that over
time becomes a community that primarily houses older adults. | eng |
