This text addresses the changes taking place in the care of old people and discusses changes in demographic structure, reforms in social policy and new legislation. The authors offer practical suggestions on the care of older people within the health context and consider the role of health visitors in relation to targeting, teamwork, inter-sectoral activites and cost-effective practice. The authors have consulted widely and collected material from visits to innovative practices, conferences on the care of elderly people, interviews with professional personnel at both field and policy-making levels, literature revies and personal experience. This edition contains updated statistices, while most tables and illustrations have been revised and new ones added. It examines current controversies on the direction which health visiting might take in future and the chapter on models and frameworks of care has been expanded in the light of new developments. The relationship of the WHO targets to the care of older adults has been explored, with the aim of linking international policies to local activities, as expressed through primary health care and neighbourhood nursing.
Issues such as retirement, the medical needs of older people plus a new chapter on group health promotion, thoeries, strategeis and topics are also included.
