This paper presents research findings generated from a study of the structure of a "caresharing system" for the elderly who reside in a Florida retirement community during the last decade of the twentieth century. A caresharing system is a combination of strategies employed in order to maximize pleasure and minimize losses that might otherwise be associated with communal and individual aging processes. In this instance, the caresharing system entailed a series of conscious efforts to hide frailty in the community. Consequences of such caresharing systems and implications for future retirement communities are discussed.
本文介绍了一项研究的结果，该研究针对20世纪最后十年居住在佛罗里达退休社区的老年人的“关爱共享系统”结构展开。关爱共享系统是一系列策略的组合，旨在将与群体和个体衰老过程相关的愉悦最大化，并将可能的损失最小化。在这种情况下，关爱共享系统需要一系列有意识的努力，在社区中隐藏脆弱。本文讨论了这种关爱共享系统的后果以及对未来退休社区的启示。
