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.

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.
