Social work and social care services should treat older people as citizens with the same humanity and rights as every other citizen. That means services of all kinds engaging older people in a fulfilling, creative life in the mainstream of each community. Informed by a wide international literature, Malcolm Payne, a leading social work author, develops a critical and creative social work practice focused on social inclusion to achieve a high quality of life for all older people and explores how advance care planning allows older people to influence the space they live in and the quality of care that they need, and support at the end of life. He shows how integrated services can provide a secure place for older people, with opportunities for personal development and creativity in their lives and that groupwork should be a crucial part of any service to facilitate mutual support and advocacy for older people and their carers. This clearly written and well-structured textbook uses case examples and reflective points to illustrate concepts and will be essential reading for all social work students.

Introduction

AIMS I recently went to an uncle’s diamond wedding (sixtieth) anniversary party and sat at a table next to the widow of one of his work friends, who was herself in her eighties. We talked about computers and the Internet, and she proclaimed her self a “silver surfer.”“It’s so exciting,” she said. “There are so many things you can learn about. Sometimes I stay up half the night on the Internet.” Her exploration of the world through her computer was giving her a new interest and commit ment in life. In writing this book, I want to encourage social work practice to empower that kind of enthusiasm for life and the world among the older people with whom we work. My main aim in this book is to develop from existing social work practice ideas a citizenship social work with older people. Citizenship social work starts from the idea that older people are equal as citizens of any society, any state, any community, any family; that citizenship confers rights to participation in and responsibilities for older people and everyone else within those social relation ships. I argue that we do not always accord older people those rights in the way we think and the way we act. I use “pause and reflect” sections in this book to enable you to think through your own feelings and views on the topics covered.

PAUSE AND REFLECT:Excluding Older People Think about your own attitudes to older people: are there ways in which you do not quite think of them as equal citizens?

Some Suggestions Some people assume that they are not as important as younger people because they are not as in touch with current ideas; they have retired, so they are not making a productive contribution to society; they’ve lived the main part of their life, so they are not as important as younger people who need education and development for the future; they need care, so they are a drain on family, com munity, and state resources; they have oldfashioned ideas about behavior; they are irritating and slow. Are you sure you have not thought at least one of these things sometimes about an older person? If you have, and a lot of people do think in these ways at
