This journal helps to make sense of current research and policy in working with older people at a time of demographic change. The journal particularly considers the implications of research and policy in managing and commissioning services and includes practical information about the promotion of quality of life in later years as well as offering guidance on appropriate service provision.

The journal publishes peer-reviewed papers on important current research, policy and practice issues. Of particular interest are contributions on the following topics:

·        intergenerational work

·        active ageing – sports and exercise and social inclusion

·        wider safeguarding issues – care homes and hospitals

·        personalisation and other policy issues

·        ethics

·        green/environmental issues

·        dementia.

The journal features high-quality, peer-reviewed articles that consider the role of older people within their wider communities with the overall goals of promoting the potential for independence, control and enhanced well-being.
