| Annotation | Highlights of recent research on older people include the development of care in the community, responses to abuse and neglect, and intergenerational work. "Person-centred care: creative approaches to individualised care for people with dementia", edited by Sue Benson, provides thirteen short accounts of practice in a variety of care settings. The Audit Commission report, "Forget me not", reviewed provision of mental health services for older people and the variation in services and practices both between and within areas. Ethnicity and ageing features in "Chinese older people: a need for social inclusion in two communities" (Policy Press, 2000). Two studies of home care, one on bathing (Julia Twigg) and on the role of family care-givers for older people resident in a care home (Fay Wright) complete the review. (RH). |
