Health, Well-Being and Older People

"A key text for nurses and social workers in the UK, as well as anyone working with older people, this book is crucial in helping to improve understanding of the importance and benefits of a person-centered, holistic approach to work in these fields. Presented in a highly accessible format, the book guides the reader through the value of this approach and offers models of best practice. Each chapter has helpful aids including key learning points, models for case studies, summaries, exercises and glossaries, and recommended further reading. The book presents and discusses a range of issues that are important to the health of older people including attitudes and ageism, the body, the environment, family and community, and sexuality."Clarke, Charlotte is the author of 'Health, Well-Being and Older People' with ISBN 9781861344229 and ISBN 1861344228.
