Aging Across the United States: Matching Needs to States’ Differing Opportunities and Services
By Charles Lockhart and Jean Giles-Sims
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars

About this ebook
Older Americans experience stages of aging with distinct priorities. For younger retirees, climate can be most important; for older retirees, quality of health care. Various states support these and other priorities to sharply different degrees. While many Americans know which states offer mild climates for outdoor recreation, they rarely know which states offer the best medical care to Medicare patients. This book tells them and suggests sequential moves to take advantage of states’ varying strengths.
