520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "In 2011, seven thousand American 'baby boomers' (those born between 1946 and 1964) turned sixty-five daily. As this largest U.S. generation ages, cities, municipalities, and governments at every level must grapple with the allocation of resources and funding for maintaining the quality of life, health, and standard of living for an aging population. In The New Neighborhood Senior Center, Joyce Weil uses in-depth ethnographic methods to examine a working-class senior center in Queens, New York. She explores the ways in which social structure directly affects the lives of older Americans and traces the role of political, social, and economic institutions and neighborhood processes in the decision to close such centers throughout the city of New York. Many policy makers and gerontologists advocate a concept of 'aging in place, ' whereby the communities in which these older residents live provide access to resources that foster and maintain their independence. But all 'aging in place' is not equal and the success of such efforts depends heavily upon the social class and availability of resources in any given community. Senior centers, expanded in part by funding from federal programs in the 1970s, were designed as focal points in the provision of community-based services. However, for the first wave of 'boomers, ' the role of these centers has come to be questioned. Declining government support has led to the closings of many centers, even as the remaining centers are beginning to 'rebrand' to attract the boomer generation. However, The New Neighborhood Senior Center demonstrates the need to balance what the boomers' want from centers with the needs of frailer or more vulnerable elders who rely on the services of senior centers on a daily basis. Weil challenges readers to consider what changes in social policies are needed to support or supplement senior centers and the functions they serve."--Provided by publisher.
