Community Care For An Aging Society

"This book examines the many factors contributing to needs for care among older persons as well as the ways in which impairments are defined and responded to by both the individual and society. Focusing on practice and policy issues, Dr. Cox describes many of the early stage community care innovations that hold the promise of making contributions to the well-being and independence of the older population."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: America is aging rapidly, with both the proportion and the sheer number of persons 65 and older relative to the rest of the population continuing to increase.
