Abstract

A case is made to consider that older adults and their subjective reality must be restored as a focus of social work practice if the profession is to play a significant role in community-based services to a growing future population of older persons directing their lives but in need of support. Guidelines based on the generic models of social work practice in North America are presented as a starting place for building practice models applicable to older clients.
