article: ‘Retirees opting for all-ages housing communities’

The article ‘Retirees opting for all-ages housing communities‘ (and this 2010 article as well) could be the basis for an interesting exercise for a study group, university or college class, staff training, etc. Such an exercise from a Social Role Valorization (SRV) perspective might profitably include a discussion of the contemporary heightened vulnerability of elders in different cultures; the wounds of distantiation, segregation, congregation; the elements of personal social integration and valued social and societal participation; the theme of grouping in SRV; programmatic and non-programmatic elements; the culturally valued analog; etc.
