Inspired by the Plan of Action on Rural Aging, an effort to create and study six demonstration projects from 2001 to 2003, and largely compiled from materials in the project's final report, these 13 papers describe the challenges of accessing and providing services to older rural residents, including several model programs. The papers describe service needs and barriers, the impact of demographics and resettlement on rural services, rural elders who are members of ethnic and racial minorities (including African Americans, Native Americans and Alaska Natives and Latinos/Hispanics), health and nutrition in rural areas, diversification and integration in rural hospitals, Medicare, the role of technology, and public policies and rural aging. Model programs address caregiving, housing and transportation. Especially helpful is the section dispelling myths about the rural elderly and their needs for services.
