The whole area of appropriate service provision is examined, from the point of referral, right trough the continuum of care, including residential care. It is essentially a practical book, informing social workers and those who are concerned with care of the elderly how they can best use what is currently available to them. Constructive advice is given on how to fit the service to the person, rather than the person to the service, and this is an important theme of the book.
