Generations

Author: Nishita, C. M. , Pynoos, J.

Type: Journal Article

Abstract:

Retrofitting creates a supportive long-term-care delivery site that is more cost-effective than institutional initiatives. Dedicating resources to the retrofitting of existing homes and buildings will provide a good return on investment. The amount of funding needed to retrofit homes and government-subsidized housing is relatively small compared to the potential benefits.
