Health and social care practitioners are increasingly called upon
to provide care to elderly people from a number of different faiths
and cultures. This collection of essays examines ageing in the
context of the many faiths and cultures that make up Western
society, and provides carers with the knowledge they need to
deliver sensitive and appropriate care to people of all faiths.
Chapters are written by authoritative figures from each of the
world's major faith groups about the beliefs and practices of their
older people. Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist
perspectives are covered, as well as those of ageing veterans and
ageing religious sisters. Issues of appropriate care are also
addressed, and the book includes recommendations for policy and
practice. This accessible and inspiring book will be a useful text
for academics, policy makers and practitioners in health and social
care, aged care workers, pastoral carers, chaplains and religious
professionals, in hospital, residential and other care settings.
