Description

Addressing the needs of older people and their carers is an essential element of both policy and practice in the fields of health and social care. Recent developments promote a partnership and empowerment model, in which the notion of "person-centred" care figures prominently. However, what "person-centred" care means and how it can be achieved is far from clear. This volume combines extensive reviews of specialist literatures with empirical data in an attempt at a synthesis of themes about making a reality of "person-centred" care. It seeks to unite the perspectives of older people, family and professional carers in promoting a genuinely holistic approach to the challenges of an ageing society.
