Lovgivning om ældreforsorg

Den demografiske udvikling viser, at antallet af ældre stiger. Deres retsforhold har voksende betydning. Med denne nye, opdaterede udgave af Værgemålsloven med kommentarer søger forfatterne at dække nogle væsentlige og praktisk vigtige juridiske problemstillinger, som opstår i kølvandet på det, der i folkemunde kaldes ældrebyrden.I bogen er der foretaget en ajourføring og bearbejdelse. Den indeholder nye afgørelser og nyvurderinger. Formålet har været at udfylde et beskrivelsesmæssigt tomrum med omfattende og dybtgående redegørelser, som forhåbentlig indeholder fyldestgørende svar på de fleste spørgsmål, som opstår.Bogen henvender sig til de faggrupper, som i det daglige beskæftiger sig med værgemål for voksne samt med børns og unges økonomiske forhold. Det gælder advokater, dommere, revisorer, bankrådgivere og forvaltningsafdelingerne, som administrerer formuerne, samt socialrådgivere, kommunalt ansatte, hospitals- og plejepersonale. De kan komme til at vurdere, om der er behov for værgemål og i bekræftende fald hvilket, ligesom der senere skal samarbejdes med værgerne. Også de pårørende kan have behov for svar på opståede spørgsmål.Lovkommentaren er forfattet af Svend Danielsen, der er kendt for sin interesse for området, bl.a. som formand for værgemålsudvalget, hvis betænkning dannede grundlag for loven fra 1996, og som forfatter af førsteudgaven fra 2006. Derudover Rie Thoustrup Sørensen, der er kontorchef i Statsforvaltningens værgemålskontor, og som tidligere var kontorchef i Civilstyrelsen.IndholdForordVærgemålslovenVærgemålsbekendtgørelsenSagsbehandlingsbekendtgørelsenIndledningKapitel 1.

The United Nations Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA) offers a bold new agenda for handling the issue of ageing in the 21st century. It focuses on three priority areas: older persons and development; advancing health and well-being into old age; and ensuring enabling and supportive environments. This book brings together global perspectives on the MIPAA and focusses on and assesses the success and failures of governments to implement its recommendations.Despite its pivotal importance in international ageing policy, the MIPAA has been relatively neglected by academics in their writings and studies. This book mitigates this analytical and empirical cavity. Each chapter focuses on one specific geographical region and addresses five key themes: national ageing situation; twenty years of MIPAA; ensuring ageing with dignity; healthy and active ageing in a sustainable world; and priorities for the future. It presents an overall summary of the findings, future challenges and opportunities related to ageing, recommendations for future actions to be taken, and policy adjustments needed. The authors also present lessons that were learnt from managing the impact of COVID-19 on older people, together with an outlook on the most immediate priorities for the future so that the recommendations in the MIPAA are achieved in post-COVID-19 and sustainable ethical scenarios.An important contribution towards the advancement of ageing policy, the book will be indispensable to students and researchers of gerontology, ageing, and health. It will also be of interest to policy makers, geriatricians, dementia care specialists, social policy makers responsible for ensuring active and healthy ageing, and all public sector departments which have specific responsibilities towards improving the quality of life of older adults.
