Synopsis

In an ageing society, the health and well-being of older people has become a primary focus of concern for government, policy makers and practitioners. With moves towards greater integration of health and social care services, there is a need for improved understanding of the importance and benefits of a person-centred, holistic approach to work in these fields. This accessible text, the produce of a collaborative venture between older people's groups and academics, provides students, academics and practitioners across a wide range of health and social care professions, including, nursing, social work, social care and gerontology, with a guide to understanding the value of this approach.

Media Reviews
This is what is clearly needed: a bridge between people's experiences and thoughts across the multiple divides of services, policy and life's practicalities and unforseen changes ... a highly readable text. Community Care
... should guide both academics and practitioners into ways of translating theory into more practical approaches to working with older people. This book is a very valuable read. Ageing & Society
The holistic view of ageing, health and social care advocated in this book is increasingly important given the interdisciplinarity of policy and practice in these fields. The book will have a wide appeal to academics and students as well as to those who work with older people. Judith Phillips, School of Social Relations, Keele University
