Selected especially for those looking after people outside hospitals, this book views old people as normal members of the community and argues that as such they should not be medically segregated. It is also recognized that, particularly for over 75-year-olds, there are opportunities for prevention, maintenance and rehabilitation, which can realistically improve the quality of life. This textbook is aimed at community care teams - doctors, nurses, social workers and also family members and voluntary workers.
