Synopsis

This book explores the rights of older people and their quality of care once they are living in a care home, and considers how we can commence the journey towards a human rights framework to ensure decent and dignified care for older people. The book takes a comparative approach to challenges facing the care home sector for older people in Africa, the Arab world, Australia, China, England, Israel, Japan and the USA, with an international panel of experts identifying how their particular society cares for its older and oldest people, the extent to which demographic and economic change has placed their system under pressure and the role that residential elder care homes play in their culture.
