Résumé

Cet article se penche sur les conséquences du vieillissement en communauté rurale sur les services d'hébergement, les services sociaux, de santé, de transport et porte une attention particulière sur les conditions en Ontario. Suivant une discussion sur les caractéristiques propres au vieillissement dans les régions rurales, les auteurs évaluent l'état des connaissances sur les rapports entre vieillissement en millieu rurale et les problèmes d'hébergement, de soins, de services sociaux et de transport. La définition des enjeux et les choix de politiques ont été limités par une approche sectorielle. Les auteurs élargissent la perspective en proposant un modèle intégré à deux niveaux. Les choix de politiques sont discutés dans le cadre de ce modèle. Ils terminent en suggérant à tous les chercheurs qui s'intéressent au vieillissement de la population rurale de toujours tenir compte des différences qui existent entre diverses communautés locales, du dynamisme propre à la vie rurale, et de la nature intégrée des problèmes du vieillissement.
