Elder Practice: A Multidisiciplinary [sic] Approach to Working with Older Adults in the Community
(Part of the Social Problems and Social Issues Series)
A blueprint for meeting the chronic, comprehensive needs of aging community members
Elder Practice addresses an issue of increasing interest to the spectrum of professionals, paraprofessionals, and volunteers who work with the elderly--how to serve the rapidly expanding population of older adults who spend their later years as member of the community rather than as residents of an institutional facility. In this innovative volume, a team of social work professionals proposes a model that affords these adults the same coordinated care traditionally found in institutional settings.
The authors call for collaboration among the private practitioners, agencies, and volunteer organizations; enumerate the myriad problems--health, legal, financial, spiritual, and social--that affect elderly adults; and offer practical guidance on how to assess client problems, establish referral networks, and maintain collaborative linkages.
