Aging in Place: A State Survey of Livability Policies and Practices: As the older population grows, the degree to which it can participate in community life will be determined, in part, by how communities are designed. This AARP report examines state policies that are needed to help older adults age in place. These policies include integrating land use, housing and transportation; efficiently delivering services in the home; providing more transportation choices, particularly for older adults who no longer drive; and improving affordable, accessible housing to prevent social isolation.
