About this book
Reviews
“Policymakers, insurers, and providers of care to older people, and indeed anyone interested in the future of aging, should read this book. It describes amazing work responding to the challenges of an aging population in the United States. It will inspire others to follow these examples for everyone’s benefit, not just the lucky few who have enjoyed these innovations.” (Ian Philp, Professor of Global Ageing Studies, University of Stirling, UK)
