This thoughtful collection based on a highly successful conference
held in Calgary, Alberta, combines the views of professional
gerontologists, educators, health-care specialists, and policy
makers to confront the issues affecting health care for older
adults in both Canada and the United States. The contributors seek
not only to inform but to inspire innovative responses from the
private as well as the public sector. Experts in government,
ageing, medicine, public administration, social service,
counselling, and consulting focus their attention on vital areas of
concern to elders who are in need of assistance, to the providers
of these services, and to a public who seeks assurance that its
resources are cost-effectively allocated to meet present and future
demand. Included are essays on the current status of health-care
policy in the United States and Canada, daily money management,
caring for the non-compliant elder, long-term care as an emerging
women's issue, lobbying government agencies and political leaders,
the role of gerontology in resolving the crisis of long-term care,
and "geroethics".
