English Dying in old age has become the majority dying of the developed world, yet older people are routinely denied palliative care, their dying characterized by failure to facilitate choice and recognize their needs. Social workers in all settings should embrace their contribution to quality end-of-life care for older people. French Mourir à un âge avancé est devenu la ‘forme majoritaire de la mort’ dans le monde développé, bien que l’on dénie couramment aux personnes âgées l’accès aux soins palliatifs, leur décès étant socialement caractérisé par l’incapacité à faciliter leurs choix et à reconnaître leurs besoins. Les travailleurs sociaux dans tous les dispositifs devraient apporter leur contribution à la qualité des soins de fin de vie pour les personnes âgées. Spanish Morirse de viejo se ha convertido en la forma mayoritaria de morir en el mundo desarrollado, sin embargo, a los ancianos se les niega sistemáticamente el cuidado paliativo. Sus muertes se caracterizan por el fallo de no ofrecer a los ancianos opciones y reconocer sus necesidades. Los trabajadores sociales de todas partes deben contribuir a la calidad del cuidado al final de la vida de los ancianos
