Affordable Clustered Housing-Care: A Category of Long-Term Care Options for the Elderly Poor
The focus of this paper is on a category of affordable housing arrangements that has emerged to help low-income older persons cope with their long-term care needs in their communities.

Lifetime Homes Lifetime Neighbourhoods: A National Strategy for Housing in an Ageing Society
In the UK, most of our homes and communities are not designed to meet people’s changing needs as they grow older. Older people’s housing options are too often limited to care homes or sheltered housing. Put simply, we need more and better homes for older people now.

Housing and Social Policy in Malaysia: Provision for the Elderly
Malaysia was categorized as an ageing nation when the elderly population reached 7.2% (1.8 million) by 2005. In a society where aging is progressing, and where even among elderly people there is an increasingly larger class of older senior citizens, the increasing number of elderly people requiring appropriate housing and personal care will be an even greater issue of importance.
