Policy and Program Planning for Older Adults: Realities and Visions

Elaine Jurkowski MSW PhD

4.9/5 (21266 ratings)

Description:This book will prove to be an invaluable resource for policy advocates, program planners, and service delivery agents. It provides an overview of the major pieces of legislation that currently impact the field of aging, and the lives of older adults; addresses the philosophical, historical, and demographic challenges that they face; and lays out tools that facilitate policy and program development to include the media, coalition building, the use of an evidence base, and health promotion strategies. Jurkowski also adumbrates major service areas for older adults, and examines how each major mandated program addresses these programs and services--a must for the program planner or a service delivery setting. The book will also be extremely helpful to graduate students in social work, public health, and gerontology. It will help to build their understanding of policy development through a critical analysis and review of policy frameworks, and then promotes development of skills in shaping programs and implementing policy. Unlike other books in the area, this one focuses on triangulating skills, policies, and programs for the reader and blends a social welfare and public health approach to the text's conceptual design.
