Contents:

The world of late-life disability -- Contextualizing aging and disability -- Learning from gerontology -- A life course perspective -- Adventurous aging through international travel -- Managing the physical environment -- Enhancing care in the nursing home environment -- The experience of disability at the end of life -- Toward better public policies -- The promise of convergence in gerontology and disability studies.

Summary: What is the lived experience of previously healthy older adults as they face disability in late life, and how is disability assimilated in their identity? How do prevailing practices facilitate-or limit-options for elders living with new disabilities? To address these questions, Jeffrey Kahana and Eva Kahana uniquely synthesize disability and gerontological perspectives to explore both the unfolding challenges of aging and the practices and policies that can enhance the lives of older adults.
