Book Description

0826102069 978-0826102065 February 20, 2006 6

A must-have reference for practitioners and a comprehensive overview for students of gerontology, social work, and public health, text offers up-to-date information on the changing health plans available to the elderly today.

The 6th edition of The Aging Network not only highlights the primary components of specific programs and services to emphasize the most recent and important changes, but explores the varying demographics of the elderly population and how these factors will affect what plans people will choose. It provides an overview of the Older Americans Act, and breaks out the various aspects of older living-from health and mental health to employment, legal assistance, and housing-that the new plans will transform.
