- Summary:
- "Last Years of Long Lives" is a unique account of old age in a community where the author has been both a clinical practitioner and a social researcher over a long period of time. It looks at the experiences of the very old in the areas of disabilities, family life and health care over a 20-year period. Using the life-course approach to research, it reveals fascinating data about the contributions of formal and informal care and how life expectancy and experiences of disability interact with the experiences of care. "Last Years of Long Lives" presents important new insights for gerontology, health policy and planning.
