Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Aging is universal, but the ways we age are profoundly shaped by culture. This Element takes readers across Asia, Africa, North America, Europe, and Oceania to examine aging-in-place strategies, dementia-friendly communities, innovative senior living models, and culturally adapted health interventions. Through research, case studies, and community innovations, contributors highlight the interplay between tradition and modernity, resilience and contextual challenges, and individual and collective forms of care. Rich with global perspectives, this Element offers scholars, practitioners, caregivers, and policymakers culturally grounded insights to support older adults and their families in an increasingly interconnected and aging world.
