Abstract

Providing services for older people represents a considerable and rising cost for
governments internationally, as in many countries proportions of older people are
increasing in relation to the younger, working and taxpaying population. This clearly presents a challenge for public services. One approach to addressing this is to develop a range of basic services that would maintain older people living healthily in their families and communities for as long as possible, reducing demand on expensive specialist facilities such as hospitals and residential care.
