Care for Older Adults with Chronic Health Problems

Providing care for older adults involves tasks carried out by and relationships with family, friends, and/or paid carers. In light of population aging, and the retrenchment or absence of social welfare to support unpaid carers, the vast majority of care for older adults is provided by carers who are members of the family or friends. Understanding the cultural context of families, the changes they face, and caregiving expectations and experiences will help in the understanding of social care networks; which frail older adults are likely to be without care; and how macrosystems such as pensions and chronic healthcare systems may better support older adults and their caregivers
