To enable all of us to age with dignity and security in the face of this coming Age Wave, our society must learn to value the care of our elders. The process of building a culture that supports care is a key component to restoring the American dream, and, as Ai-Jen Poo convincingly argues, will generate millions of new jobs and breath new life into our national ideals of independence, justice, and dignity.This groundbreaking new book from the director of the Older peopleCareUnited StatesOlder peopleNursing home careUnited StatesOlder peopleServices forUnited StatesPopulation agingUnited StatesOlder peopleCareOlder peopleNursing home careOlder peopleServices forPopulation aging361.60973Poo Ai-jen1540807Conrad ArianeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787250603321The age of dignity3792641UNINA
