Older Citizens and End-Of-Life Care

The book critiques current social work models for older adults, highlighting their reliance on dependency-creating values that undermine the human rights of citizenship. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing end-of-life considerations in social care, arguing that insights from palliative care have not been effectively integrated into social work practices. By addressing these gaps, the author advocates for a more respectful and rights-based approach to the care of older individuals, ensuring their dignity and autonomy are prioritized.
