A good introduction to all areas relating to caring for the older adult - clearly written.
The content is easy to follow and the chapters are clearly defined. The book explores opportunities and skills required to care for and support the older person. It gives a robust definition of what ageing means and health expectations of the elderly. It also discusses the promotion of well being and the humanisation theory which is defined and discussed. The chapter on vulnerability, safeguarding and discrimination is particularly clear and concise with many pertinent issues raised and discussed.
I am currently rewriting the information for this course and am utilising this book many times, particularly on issues around ageism. This book will be promoted as an essential text for the course.
