‘In a world where there is little doubt that the demand for formal care services is set to increase significantly, this book is a timely addition to the literature of ageing in place, comparing home care delivery policies and services for ageing populations in three different countries – Denmark, Germany, and the state of California in the USA. . . it will be of particular interest to gerontologist, to those who provide direct care to the elderly, and disabled, and to those directly involved in social policy development in any country attempting to put together effective home care support for those who need it.’
