Introduction
Section I: How We Got Here
Section II: What is Really Happening
Section III: Our Future Aging Experience
David Dunkelman, M.S., J.D. was the founding President and
CEO of The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Campus, one of the US’s
largest and most multifaceted campuses for older people. The campus
was the first such organization to be named a winner of the
national Peter F. Drucker Award for Innovation in Nonprofit
Management.
Among his many individual awards are the Community Leadership Award
from the Foundation for Jewish Philanthropies, Buffalo (2013), and
the Dr. Evan Calkins Meritorious Service Award for “lifetime
contributions to the field of aging,” presented by the Western New
York Network in Aging, Inc. (2007).
Using creative problem-solving techniques developed at the State
University of New York at Buffalo, Dunkelman has consulted
nationally with more than 25 communities, helping them to develop
strategic approaches to facility and programmatic design for older
people. He writes and speaks about aging in America.
Martha Dunkelman, Ph.D., is a writer and editor who has
written numerous articles, reviews, and brochures, as well as
serving as book editor for an online periodical. She has also
written and edited materials for the Educational Testing Service
and the College Board. She has spent many years in teaching and
administration as a professor at Wright State University, the
University at Buffalo, and Canisius College.
“David and Martha Dunkelman’s important book about aging affects
every American by addressing this critical question: How can more
Americans age in health and dignity in their own homes or in places
designed better to meet their needs for care and community? I hope
their experiences and thoughtful recommendations will be read and
followed by both policy makers and concerned citizens, who can use
their ideas to implement changes we all know we need.”
- Hillary Rodham Clinton
"This groundbreaking book highlights the impact of the deluge of
older people on our broken healthcare system. The current financing
system is a significant barrier to change and improvement. David’s
30 years of experience provide some important insights about how
America can meet the challenge. It offers a realistic and practical
path out of the current stagnation and denial."
- Richard Berman, Former Director of the office of Health Systems
Management, New York State, former member of The US Prospective
Payment Commission; and a member of The National Academy of
Medicine/National Academy of Sciences (formerly known as the
Institute of Medicine
