People are leading significantly longer lives than previous
generations did, and the proportion of older people in the
population is growing. Residential care for older people will
become increasingly necessary as our society ages and, we will
require more of it. At this moment in time, the rights of older
people receive attention at international and regional levels, with
the United Nations, the Organization of American States and the
African Union exploring the possibility of establishing new
conventions for the rights of older persons. This book explores the
rights of older people and their quality of care once they are
living in a care home, and considers how we can commence the
journey towards a human rights framework to ensure decent and
dignified care for older people. The book takes a comparative
approach to present and future challenges facing the care home
sector for older people in Africa (Kenya), the Arab world (Egypt),
Australia, China, England, Israel, Japan and the USA. An
international panel of experts have contributed chapters,
identifying how their particular society cares for its older and
oldest people, the extent to which demographic and economic change
has placed their system under pressure and the role that
residential elder care homes play in their culture. The book also
explores the extent to which constitutional or other rights form a
foundation to the regulatory and legislative structures to
residential elder care and it examines the important concept of
dignity. As a multi-regional study of the care of older person from
a human rights perspective, this book will be of excellent use and
interest, in particular to students and researchers of family and
welfare law, long-term care, social policy, social work, human
rights and elder law.
