Abstract
ABSTRACT: A description is given of the Riverview Apartment facility for the relatively healthy aged, which is operated in association with the Jewish Home and Hospital for Aged in Pittsburgh. In the apartments there is a deliberate program to foster independent living, based on such factors as: 1) a tenant‐landlord relationship, 2) maintenance of contact with the family physician, 3) the serving of an evening meal to ensure good nutrition and to observe the general health of the tenants, and 4) provision of recreational programs that encourage self‐generation of activities. Independent apartment housing contributes a great deal to the status of the elderly. Without it, many old people would be forced to live in institutions or elsewhere under dependency conditions that accelerate deterioration.
