Linking Housing and Services, Part 2: It's Not Just for Senior Housing Anymore. A Report Concerning Naturally Occuring Retirement Communities
The fact that older people want and tend to age in place is now almost as well recognized as the aging of the population. Over the last several years, policy, research, and program attention has increasingly focused on aging in place. Linking health and supportive services with planned senior housing has been of particular interest, in part because of the advantages of economies of scale. However, only about 6% of older people live in planned senior housing or retirement communities. A much higher percentage live in buildings or neighborhoods where disproportionate numbers of older people happen to live--according to a 1992 American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) survey, 27% of older people live in a 'building or neighborhood where more than 50% of the residents are over 60.' The AARP calls these naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) 'the most dominant and overlooked form of senior housing.' A national study conducted at the Heller School's Policy Center on Aging at Brandeis University support this conclusion. Because of their high concentration of elderly residents, NORCs offer many of the same service delivery and community-building opportunities as planned senior housing.
