This comprehensive book delves into the intricate policies surrounding old age and telecare, providing a rich and contextualized exploration of the topic. By situating telecare within the broader historical framework of health and social care in England, the author establishes a compelling argument that grand narratives of old age are intricately woven into these policies.
The book is organized into four distinct sections, each offering a comprehensive perspective on the subject matter.
In the first section, the author explores the intricate connection between old age and telecare, highlighting the ways in which these two domains intersect and influence one another. This section provides a foundational understanding of the role that telecare plays in supporting older individuals and promoting their well-being.
The second section offers a comprehensive review of old age and telecare, encompassing a wide range of topics such as the historical development of care policies, the challenges faced by older people, and the potential benefits of telecare. The author critically examines the discourses surrounding old age and telecare, exploring how they have been perpetuated and transformed in the context of this technology.
The third section delves into a critical enquiry into the discourses and the identity of old age. The author examines how these discourses shape the way older people are perceived, treated, and supported, and how they impact their access to care and social participation. This section sheds light on the power dynamics at play and the need for transformative change in the way we think about and approach old age.
The fourth and final section presents the book's conclusions and future directions. The author reflects on the key findings and implications of the research, offering insights into the potential for policy and practice to promote the well-being and inclusion of older people in the digital age.
This book is a valuable resource for students and academics in the fields of gerontology, sociology, old age studies, philosophy, social policy, health and social care policy, information systems, and critical theoreticians. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex dynamics of old age and telecare, and offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise in this rapidly evolving field.
