| Annotation | Four articles offer insights into how individuals, families and those working with older people may assist in making the ageing transition successful. In the first article, Karen Olness and Sara Loue consider aspects of coping with daily living in the domains of housing, finances, transport and medical care. Next, Sara Loue considers issues that arise between cognitively impaired older people and their adult children, and the dynamics of their relationships. Janet Lowder and colleagues focuses on the importance of planning for the future with respect to the possible development of temporary or permanent disability. They present case studies to illustrate the sorts of unforeseen circumstances that may arise, and where for example guardianship and power of attorney could resolve such problems. Lastly, Sara Lowe considers cognitively impaired older people's participation in research. Her article covers issues such as informed consent, and capacity or consent to participate. (RH). |
