Older People and Community Care

This volume sets social and health-care practice with older people firmly in the context of the new community-care arrangements and the consequent organizational trends towards a market culture. However, it also questions the relative lack of attention given by professionals to issues of structural inequality in old age compared, for example, to race and gender. Thus the book tackles a double agenda: how can community-care practice be suffused with anti-ageist values and principles?
