Aims and scope
Working with Older People considers the fact that people are living longer and the opportunities that this presents for older people, families, communities and the economy.
The Journal’s content has a strong practical focus and encourages innovative service development in implementing the later life agenda and working with older people. Full of practical examples of how services are making social inclusion and choice and control a reality for older people, this Journal will help you and your service to meet the challenges of working with an increasing number of older citizens at a time of demographic change. The Journal provides a forum for those involved in the field – service providers and service users – to share experiences and ideas, showcase new approaches, explore difficulties and dilemmas, and suggest solutions, with the overall goal of enabling older citizens to enjoy a full and active life and to experience good health and well-being.
