Healthy Ageing and Aged Care takes an inter-disciplinary approach to supporting older people within the community and in care. It represents current Australian policies and practices and takes a holistic view of the older person, and emphasises the positive aspects of the ageing process, maintaining that people age in healthy ways and continue to be an integral part of their families and communities. This is one of the rewarding aspects of working with olderpeople-assessing accurately and collaboratively putting in place strategies that can maintain the persons quality of life. The goal is for students to be able to develop those skills by engaging with the material in this book.
