Demographic and epidemiological changes mean that frail older
people have come to be seen as an expensive problem for health care
systems. The challenge for professionals and policy-makers is to
find ways to respond to the coming crisis by delivering
high-quality care in the home. This collection offers a critical
analysis of home care policy and practice. It focuses on how
high-quality care is provided and the practices and policies that
support this. It offers case studies (both policy- and
practice-oriented empirical studies) from countries that share a
basic orientation to social welfare: Canada, Denmark, Finland,
Iceland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The nine chapters set out a
critical agenda for the development of "good" practices in
challenging times. This book is essential reading for students,
practitioners and researchers who wish to understand diverse
problems in care provision for frail older persons and the
complexities of policy responses in different health and social
care contexts.
