The topics of aging and disabilities are multifaceted and therefore may be approached in many ways. This work chooses to focus on four systems and areas of common ground (aging, developmental disabilities, independent living movement, and rehabilitation), to investigate the emerging "intersection" of the two fields.

Says that thousands of older people have been flowing into nursing homes unnecessarily when they can and should remain in their own home or apartment.

The complexity and diversity of families and aging has generated the necessity for research, policy, and program agendas that address emerging issues and needs for elderly Americans and their families.
