Evaluation Review, 1987, vol. 11, issue 3, 267-280

Abstract: This article delineates the development of a methodology for evaluating social programs for the elderly in 60 community centers in Israel. Two theories of aging were applied to the results of a smallest space analysis, and eight potential program types were identified. Centers were found to function primarily in an activity perspective on aging. Expansion of service to include a disengagement view was positively correlated with ease of access to the facility and program longevity.
