Empowering the Elderly?
How ‘Help to Self-Help’ Health Interventions Shape Ageing and Eldercare in Denmark
Aging in Context
Keith A. Anderson, Holly I. Dabelko-Schoeny, and Noelle L. Fields
As older adults and their families opt out of nursing homes, a range of home- and community-based services have risen up to provide care. This book examines existing and emerging models of these services. Emphasizing the multidisciplinary and interprofessional practice approaches used to deliver care, it is an essential learning tool.
