Hughes considers health and social care within the context of the new community care culture ...This book is a delight to read. It is a book that needed to be written - BASELINE: The Journal of the British Association for Service to the Elderly. For anyone who recognises a link between politics and care, this is well worth the money. - Nursing Times I have reviewed several books which have been part of the Rethinking Ageing series and this new text is another valuable addition to the series...I would recommend this book to anyone working in the field of community care and with older people. - Community Care ...a very useful contribution to the literature. - Ageing and Society ...deserves to be on the reading list of social work courses. - British Journal of Social Work
