Explores the provision of services for older people living at home. Examines the social context of old age, looking at structural barriers such as ageism, racism and sexism, and poverty. Challenges the view that the increasing number of older people in the population is a problem. Discusses practical issues such as: day services for people with dementia; housing and support services; GP and social services collaboration; and short term breaks. Concludes by looking at research into the development of practice through inter agency collaboration, more skillful care management, specialist teams, and changing professional social worker attitudes to services users by empowering them.
