This book presents an up-to-date comparative analysis of domiciliary care policies for the older populations of Denmark, Germany and the United States with a particular focus on similarities and differences between these care regimes. Home Care for Ageing Populations will be of particular interest to academics working in the fields of social policy, social care, gerontology and public/ employment policy and will prove a useful source for researchers conducting comparative analysis of social care systems. It will also be of interest to thosewithin the community services / social care arena and public servants responsible for the coordination and delivery of homecare systems, as well as social workers, general practitioners, occupational therapists, and a host of other specialist staff working with older people.
Industry Reviews
'At a time when the desire to "age in place" has emerged as a rallying cry among elderly and disabled adults and their advocates, this book provides an important new analysis of the ways in which three countries are facing the challenge of assuring the adequacy and quality of in-home care. Drawing on both primary and secondary sources, the book examines the ways in which home care is organized, financed, and delivered in Denmark, Germany, and the United States, countries that represent three different types of long-term care systems.'- Andrew Scharlach, University of California, US
