| Annotation | The involvement of older people as active partners in planning their future living arrangements, and elements of care support, must be at the heart of day-to-day practice, policy planning and design. This book is concerned with setting an agenda to confront assumptions and "givens" about the expectations and needs of older people. The contributors provide an overview of the current situation faced by older people in terms of the "market place", policy issues, architectural and design perspectives, and conceptual understandings of autonomy and independence. They also challenge the reader to view things differently, to question the conventional approach to this area of social policy (and practice), by offering fresh perspectives for bringing about change. This book is the culmination of a series of seminars organised by the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) during 2001/2002 on the theme of "Choice in later life living arrangements". (KJ/RH). |
