Abstract

The aged population of the developed world is dramatically and increasingly outnumbering the young. Older people are the most intensive users of health care and social services, and are becoming more powerful and visible consumers in general. Governments and aged care industries are struggling to provide a range of services that will be demanded and expected by our ageing citizens.
