| Annotation | The authors' search for a model of successful ageing for both frail and robust older people began as part of a personal quest, when they took care of the first author's disabled, aged mother, who continued to remain creative and interested in others even when facing serious illness and living with disabilities. This model is based on preventive and corrective proactivity (PCP); and the authors outline how the older people of tomorrow can enhance their own quality of life through a broad array of proactive adaptations. By recognising and accepting older people's rights to, and preference for, proactive involvement in shaping their own destiny, important strides can be made toward facilitating successful ageing. Based on the authors' model, successful ageing is an attainable goal within reach of even those who are traditionally relegated to the ranks of passive and stigmatised recipients of care. (RH). |
