Episode of Series “Ageing in the New Age”.
The need for independence does not diminish with age. There are a variety of community support systems now available to people who want to maintain maximum independence for as long as possible. This film considers a number of community support systems which point the way to the future: community-based health care and home help, group home living and retirement villages.
