| Annotation | This book focuses on some of the key social, cultural and community aspects of elderly care that general practitioners (GPs) have identified as being especially problematic in their day to day work. It follows a problem-based approach, with special emphasis on the needs of older people living at home. Topics covered include: loneliness; elder abuse; older people from ethnic minority groups; legal aspects of mental incapacity; what an old age psychiatrist does; rehabilitation; aids to compliance with medication; public transport; money problems and financial assistance; residential care homes; housing; carers; community health services; community care and social services; and community care and the independent sector. The articles in this book were previously published in the British Medical Journal in 1996, under the title `Caring for Older People'. (AKM). |
