摘要
Community resources are necessary for the health and wellbeing of older people. They can be organized with respect to the primary characteristic of successful aging they promote. Resources for avoiding disease and related disability include wellness programs, home health care, and mental health services. Resources that help older people sustain high functioning include senior centers, adult day care, and senior housing. Finally, active engagement with life is facilitated through employment services, learning experiences, and volunteer programs. Community resources for baby boomers in late life may differ from those available for today's elders. They will be no less important for successful aging, however.
