Supporting people in later life

The 2009 Annual Evidence Update (AEU) on Supporting People in Later Life has been brought to you by the Later Life Specialist Library. It focuses on the specific challenges of independent living that are often faced by people in later life. This AEU brings together secondary research in the form of systematic reviews, guidelines and important policy documents. Topics covered in the update include diet and exercise, independent living, acute care, primary care, residential care and carer support. The resources are aimed at helping health professionals to support those who are experiencing challenges with independent living because of serious health issues.
