| Summary |
Demographic change is a defining issue of our time. As the worldwide population ages, the healthcare systems of every country will meet challenges of scale in providing for their elderly. Aging with Dignity: Innovation and Challenge in Sweden: The Voice of Elder Care Professionals is a study in the future of elder care through the lens of the Swedish healthcare system. Over one year, ACCESS Health has conducted extensive interviews with more than thirty elder care professionals in Sweden. Aging with Dignity collects these in depth interviews alongside summary chapters and analysis. --Provided by publisher. |
