Reviews literature on unmet need among older people. Begins by surveying commonly overlooked needs identified by older people, and reasons why older people may resist support or help, and then describes studies which examine the processes by which social services departments identify and respond to the needs of older people. The final section suggests a number of alternative strategies for identifying unmet needs.
