[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

This text is a good overview of services and programs available for older adults. There is not enough in-depth coverage of any one topic though to be especially practical. This book is a good starting point for a study of gerontology or for a historical background of current gerontological programs, but is mostly just introductory.
