The phenomenon of aging in place poses fundamental questions for administrators and planners of housing for the elderly. Based on a planning study for one retirement facility in the upper Midwest, we reviewed current knowledge pertinent to aging in place and present the findings of interviews with 13 housing administrators and present some limited market analysis of the host community of the subject retirement facility.
