Healthy Ageing and Aged Care

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 older people―assessing accurately and  collaboratively putting in place strategies that can maintain the  person's quality of life. The goal is for students to be able to develop  those skills by engaging with the material in this book.
