Title: Social care of the elderly
Description: "Based on two studies of older people in an urban setting, this book focuses on access to social services for different ethnicities.".

"Cantor and Brennan review different models and provide the theory base for the book in Part I. They describe ways in which the complementary roles of informal systems and formal systems change as a function of the health status of older people. In part II the authors illustrate the ways in which ethnicity, class, and culture affect the roles of the formal and informal systems by focusing on specific case studies of African American, Latino, and Jewish elderly.".

"A valuable resource for professionals, academics, and students in health and social services."--BOOK JACKET.
