| Annotation | This is the fourth in a series of ten think pieces from leading UK think tanks to mark Hanover's 50th year in providing high quality housing and related services for older people. The authors warn that language about ageing shapes negative attitudes that are damaging to older people and to society. Ageist language and attitudes deprive older people of the opportunity to contribute to their communities. The RSA argues that western society should 'retire retirement' and develop new language, as well as models of care that value the experience and wisdom of older people. This would form part of a comprehensive re-branding of ageing and older people. This item is also a chapter in 'Perspectives on ageing and housing: insights by leading UK think tanks' (RH). |
