| Annotation | This book - previous editions published with the title, Elderly people in modern society - brings together existing evidence about older people and how they live. It presents a profile of older people, a review of the literature, major general developments in policy, evidence about informal networks of care, and an assessment of the position and status of older people in society. The author introduces a number of topics that have gained prominence since publication of the third edition in 1992: continuing care; the abuse of older people; changes in policy following the introduction in 1992 of the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990; and recent changes in the organisation and provision of statutory services, including the National Health Service (NHS). A final section, documents, presents excerpts from primary source materials referred to in the text. |
