Elder Practice: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Working with Older Adults in the Community (Social Problems and Social Issues (Univ of South Carolina))

Elder Practice addresses an issue of increasing interest to the spectrum of professionals, paraprofessionals, and volunteers who work with the elderly-how to serve the rapidly expanding population of older adults who spend their later years as member of the community rather than as residents of an institutional facility. In this innovative volume, a team of social work professionals proposes a model that affords these adults the same coordinated care traditionally found in institutional settings.
