• Housing and care for older people: life in an English purpose-built retirement village (2007) · Ageing and Society · cited 62× · doi

  Policy makers and providers endorse the proposition that they are suited for the accommodation of both ‘fit’ and ‘frail’ older people, although comparatively little is known about what it is actually like to live in such communities, about whether they cater adequately for older people with a wide spectrum of needs and abilities, or if they provide acceptable solutions to older people's housing or care needs.

• Aging in Which Place? Connecting Aging in Place with Individual Responsibility, Housing Markets, and the Welfare State (2017) · Journal of Housing for the Elderly · cited 29× · doi

  This article proposes an analytical framework for the understanding of aging in place, and asks: Which housing alternatives are compatible with aging in place? Who are responsible for providing housing in old age? A literature review demonstrates that there is no agreement on the “place” in aging in place, but that aging in place policies entail joint individual and public responsibility for housing.

• Factors associated with need: Community health and social services among the aged (1978) · Community Development Society Journal · doi

  Future research should examine the relative importance of "objective" in- dicators versus other standards of comparison used by the aged in assessing their needs for additional community services. Yet little is known about how the political and advocacy roles of the aged shape local com- munity programs for the elderly.
