This commentary aims to support Carol Walker and Cally Ward's paper by directing readers to work which could guide their practice with older people with learning disabilities and ageing family carers. It reviews selected initiatives to support older people with learning disabilities and their family carers over the past decade. Examples from the author's personal contacts are also used to illustrate the discussion. (Edited publisher abstract)
