Health and Quality: A Study of the impact of Disabled Adaptations - Simon Taylor - Bog

In the twenty first century, societies across the globe are facing the challenges that come with a growing elderly population. As a result, of the demands placed upon the health and social care system in the UK, successive governments have had to find increased levels of financial resource to fund these services. The state has sought to reduce the pressures that are put on the health and social care system by providing people who have medical conditions with physical adaptations to help them live independently in their own homes. This book presents the findings of a study that shows the positive benefits experienced by a group of people who had physical adaptations put into their home. It highlights the benefits to the well-being of the participants as a result of their experience of being able to live independently. This book will be of interest to health or social care students, researchers, academics and practitioners.
