The disappearing retirement age and the expectations of the baby boomer generation as they move into their 60s will have important implications for people working in older people's services. This article explores these issues in light of an increasing emphasis on age equality and inclusivity within health and social care services, with a particular focus on older people's mental health services. The author discusses whether delivering services that are defined by age is really the best option for all.
