If you are seeking sources on ways to help older persons transition to retirement, there are many studies on retirement, The Third Age, successful aging, the young-old. A good article to start off would be: 

Ekerdt, David. (2010). Frontiers of Research on Work and Retirement

            The Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences, 65, Pp. 69-80. 

Ekerdt provides a good overview of the field (up to 2009) and a great bibliography.
