ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine the services and programs needed and/or desired by the baby boomer generation that will prompt them to participate in senior center activities. Eighty-five participants in eight focus groups responded to the questions. The results showed that the current senior centers are not meeting baby boomers’ expectations and/or needs in order to successfully age in their own homes and communities. Therefore, if changes are not made to the current senior center to attract baby boomers, it will no longer be considered a major service provider due to low participation.

重塑农村地区的传统老年人中心以吸引新一代人

摘要 本研究的目的是确定婴儿潮一代需要和/或期望的服务和计划，以促使他们参与老年中心的活动。八个焦点小组的八十五名参与者回答了这些问题。结果表明，目前的老年中心没有满足婴儿潮一代的期望和/或需求，无法在自己的家中和社区成功养老。因此，如果不改变目前的老年中心以吸引婴儿潮一代，它将因参与度低而不再被视为主要服务提供商。
