Product Description

Synopsis

Most older persons desire to remain living in the community, but those requiring care are often at risk of not having their needs met. Families may find themselves unable to care for their older relatives, while formal services are often unavailable or inaccessible. Policies and services are beginning to focus on the community rather than institutions as the primary axis for care. This book examines the many factors contributing to needs for care among older persons, as well as the ways in which impairments are defined and responded to by both the individual and society. Focusing on practice and policy issues, Dr. Cox describes many of the early stage community care innovations that hold the promise of making contributions to the well-being and independence of the older population.

5.0 out of 5 stars great, 1 Dec 2008
By Alexandra Champagne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Community Care for an Aging Society: Issues, Policies, and Services (Lifestyles & Issues in Aging) (Hardcover)
I thought this book is excellent, it covered what I was looking for. I had to do a research paper on community services, and factors that influence elderly to use community services. This book was excellent by far. I strongly recommend anyone who is looking into community services, to use this book..
thanks alot amazon.......
