Within the context of their aging populations, many countries around the world are currently promoting health and social care policies for older people which emphasise the importance to be attached to non-institutional forms of service provision for elderly people within the community. There is now an important need to take stock of the international experience of community care policies. International Perspectives on Community Care for Older People draws together acknowledged international experts in the field of community care in order to address some of the common issues which are associated with transitions in health and social care provision.
