| Annotation | The Age Awareness project was set up in 1995 by Methodist Homes for the Aged and the Christian Council on Ageing, facilitated by a grant from the Sir Halley Stewart Trust. The main objective of the project is to increase the understanding of the spiritual needs of older people. This eighth booklet of ten looks at the pros and cons of staying put and of moving to a more appropriate home. A number of alternatives are examined, including living with a member of the family, sheltered accommodation, residential care homes, and nursing homes. The fears of those facing a move to residential or nursing care and the likely difficulties of adjustment are addressed in the light of the core principles in that sector of care where there is a growing recognition of the significance of people's spiritual needs. An important role is identified for local churches. (AKM). |
