| Annotation | The focus on providing essential medical and social care for frail older adults often leaves them feeling helpless and unable to contribute. One basic human need is reciprocity - i.e. the ability to give something back in return for receiving. Building and promoting reciprocity in health and social care settings can help preserve social inclusion and foster autonomy, dignity and quality of life in older people. (JL). |
