“…To achieve Aging in Community, the community should meet older adults’ diverse needs regarding housing, health and caregiving, personal finance, social engagement, and transportation ( National Aging in Place Council, 2021 ). From the social-physical perspective, older adults desire to have the agency or autonomous control of their physical or social condition, such as health, finance, housing maintenance, and travel ( Geboy et al, 2012 ; Lang, 2004; National Aging in Place Council, 2021 ; Smith et al, 2014 ). Older adults often have place attachment and desire social-physical belonging or security with a sense of emotional connections to the environment ( Geboy et al, 2012 ; Lang, 2004).…”

Aging in Community (AIC) is the preferred way to age. This systematic review identified promising AIC models in the U.S. and analyzed model characteristics and push-pull factors from older adults’ perspectives. Push factors are those driving older adults to leave, while pull factors attract them to stay in a community. We conducted a two-phase search strategy using eight databases. Phase I identified promising AIC models and Phase II expanded each specific model identified. Fifty-two of 244 screened articles met the criteria and were analyzed. We identified four promising AIC models with the potential to achieve person-environment (P-E) fit, including village, naturally occurring retirement community (NORC), cohousing, and university-based retirement community (UBRC). Each has a unique way of helping older adults with their aging needs. Similar and unique push-pull factors of each AIC model were discussed. Analyses showed that pull factors were mostly program factors while push factors were often individual circumstances. Continued research is needed to address the challenges of recruiting minority older adults and those of lower socio-economic status, meeting older adults’ diverse and dynamic needs, and conducting comparative studies to share lessons learned across the globe.
