| Annotation | Recognition of the relationship between older people and disabled people is a relatively recent area of interest for both scholars and practitioners. Indeed, even within the world of ageing, disability has been diffracted into distinctions and sub-groups of: older people with late-life disabilities; older people with cognitive disabilities, psychological disabilities, and local trauma disabilities; and older people with more or fewer deficits in activities of daily living (ADLs). In the US, these sub-groups are often dealt with by different agencies at federal, state and local level. The author considers some consequent disparities in service eligibility and provision. By way of illustration, statistics on home care and nursing home spending by US State for 1998 and 2003 are presented. (RH). |
