Presents a review and critique of American research published on senior citizen programming either directed towards the needs of frail elders or those which can reduce the likelihood of impairments through disease prevention and health promotion activities. Also identifies the elements that seem to be common to the development and operation of such programmes. Goes on to outline the questions that need to be examined if there is to be a better understanding of the impact of senior centres on frail elders.
