New Models for Future Retirement
Angebote / Angebote:
The development of college/university linked
retirement communities on or near a campus has become
a significant movement across the country. The
motivation of older adults returning to campus is
qualitatively different from those who choose
traditional retirement communities. It is obvious
that there is a hunger for something more than warm
weather and a condo on the 5th green. It is
fundamentally about personal growth, the development
of new and more valued roles and an enabling culture
that fosters the creation of new models for retirement.
This book analyzes the characteristics and
motivations of seniors who are attracted to such
communities, the attributes of the environment that
motivate and support purposive activities of senior
residents and, the role colleges and universities are
beginning to play in creating new models for retirement.
It provides a conceptual framework of
college/university linked retirement communities
developing new models for retirement that should be
especially useful to colleges and universities,
professionals in senior housing and environment and
aging fields, and older adults who would like to
reinvent themselves in the new models of retirement.
