Caring contexts of rural seniors : phase II : technical report / by Bonnie Dobbs, Jennifer Swindle, Norah Keating, Jacquie Eales, Janice Keefe.: V32-430/2-2004E-PDF
"This report presents findings from Phase II of a three-year research program, funded by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), to investigate the question, “Is rural Canada a good place to grow old?” There has been limited research that has considered the perspective of older people on how supported they feel in their communities and to the perceived importance of the social and physical elements of community in evaluating overall community support. This phase was designed to obtain the perspectives of older Canadians on what elements make their communities good places to grow old. Findings came from a national telephone survey of 1,322 individuals aged 65 years or older, who resided in Royal Canadian Legion member households in rural communities across Canada"--Executive summary, page 1.
