Abstract
480 pages packed with essential information. Assessment is the foundation for health and social care and is integral to all areas of policy and practice with older people. Sound assessment is essential for competent practice; it establishes the grounding for an older person’s relationship with services and, even within a single assessment encounter, the decisions can be life-changing.
The relevant sections in the book offer information on age-related changes, how these manifest, how to assess them and what conclusions could be drawn.
The book is divided into five sections:
- the current health and social care context;
- individuality in later life and the influences upon this;
- the range of foundations for care and support;
- functioning for everyday life and enjoyment;
- key contributors to quality of life
