Frolik (law, U. of Pittsburgh) intends this book for lawyers, financial advisors, and geriatric case managers involved with choosing and supporting housing options for elderly and disabled clients. The 12 chapters discuss how the law affects different types of housing--from the client's own house to age restricted communities, condos, manufactured and mobile homes, assisted living, group homes, and hospice centers. Issues related to the choice and financing of housing are also discussed, such as the loss of a spouse, using a current house to create income, retitling homeownership, homeowner associations, taxation, attempts to bar group homes from neighborhoods, insurance, private caregivers, contracts of admission to homes, and medicare eligibility for hospice care, among others.
