Annotation	This book is based on the affirmation of the past and present achievements of older people, and a belief in their abilities to learn how to make the most of the changes and challenges in later life. It also recognizes the importance of using life experiences positively. Chapters have been written by experts on their special areas of work: Mervyn Kohler on making the most of change; Jill Pitkeathley on carers; Archana Srivastava and Yvonne Craig on neighbour and community relations; Rudi Reeves on sheltered housing; Jenny Stiles on residential care and nursing homes, and residents' and relatives' responsibilities; Frank Glendenning on mistreatment and neglect; and Barbara Beaton on legal rights and making complaints. Gillian Dalley, of the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA), concludes with the theme, 'a good end', and discusses advance directives or living wills.
