This book deals with the emotional, social and environmental issues of caring for the elderly. Attitudes to and feelings about old age, old people and dependency, the processes of "community care", the role of formal and informal carers and the relationship of the welfare sectors - voluntary, private and statutory - to residential care are all considered. It is intended for health professionals and social workers, district or community nurses, GPs and anyone involved in caring for the elderly. - from Amzon
