Old People's Homes and the Production of Welfare

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In 1980 old people comprised over half the clients of Local Authority Social Services Departments and accounted for about half of their resources, yet until then residential care of the aged had been a backwater of both research and practice. First published in 1981, the authors filled that gap in this book.
