Named an Outstanding Academic Title for 2007 by "Choice " "Well organized, extensively referenced, and illustrated with figures/tables, this work represents a unique, multipurpose, interdisciplinary approach to elder care...Highly recommended." "--CHOICE" Based on the concept that vulnerability in the older populace encompasses those who are at increased risk for physical and psychosocial health problems, this book takes a closer look at vulnerability and how it affects five specific populations within the elderly: Those incarcerated in prisons The homeless Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people Those who are HIV positive or living with AIDS The frail Both physical and psychosocial health care issues and needs are
addressed as well as interventions and resources that can be
implemented to care for these very specific populations and their
requirements for successful physical and mental health care. The
unique challenges of hospice care in prisons; the lack of services
that cater to homeless older people; and the overall attitude
towards helping elderly gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender
people are some of the increasingly important issues covered.
