520    "A fascinating attempt to marry personal experience with 
       academic analysis to help us all reconceive of one option 
       for later-life living." -- The Huffington Post When her 
       husband's ill health forces them to move into an assisted 
       living facility, Anne M. Wyatt-Brown suddenly finds 
       herself surrounded by elderly residents. In this lively 
       and provocative collection, other distinguished 
       gerontologists reflect on Anne's moving account of her 
       transition to becoming a member of a vibrant and sociable 
       community that offers care-giving support, while 
       encouraging her to pursue her own interests, including 
       exercising, reviewing articles for scholarly journals, 
       serving on committees, and singing. By redefining notions 
       of care and community, undoing the stigmas of aging, and 
       valuing the psychological factors involved in accepting 
       assistance, this volume provides a bold new framework for 
       thinking about aging, continuing care, making the big move
       to a retirement community, and living with vitality in the
       new environment. "We have very few accounts of 
       gerontologists who have grown old, and never before a 
       memoir by a gerontologist who moved into a long-term care 
       facility. This book is not only a first, but is a 
       remarkable and riveting account of challenges all of us 
       must contemplate... memorable and compelling." -- Rick 
       Moody, retired Vice President for Academic Affairs, AARP 
       "Readers will be drawn to this book for its clarity and 
       candidness. It will appeal to people of all ages, but 
       especially to the large cohort of readers aging into later
       life and facing important choices about their own care and
       that of their partners." -- Barbara Frey Waxman, author of
       To Live in the Center of the Moment"--|cProvided by
