Reviews

... an informative and well-constructed account of many of the key issues. This is a highly useful and accessible book, and will be of considerable interest to policy makers, practitioners and students. Ageing & Society ... a very useful set of papers ... recommended to policy makers, practitioners and students. Journal of Social Policy ... an interesting addition to the library of anyone interested in the misfit between current housing provision and a rapidly ageing population. SPA News ... an impressive overview and discussion of central concepts and ongoing discussions in this field. Housing Studies ... excellent text ... deserves to be read by activists in pensioner forums, by housing and social services officers, and carers alike. Indeed this book should be read by anyone who has an interest in how we should be housing our older people in the coming century. Roof ... essential reading for social policy, health care and housing studies students. It should also be on the 'must have' list for practitioners and policy makers whose work increasingly takes them into the inter-face between health, housing and social care. Moyra Riseborough, Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, School of Social Policy, University of Birmingham
