Two new reports from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, a UK-based
endowed foundation established to provide housing in communities and to
understand the root causes of social problems:
These two reports examine issues of decision making, risk, and
autonomy involved in informal and caring relationships with the elderly. Both
the full report and a summary are provided in PDF.
1) Improving decision-making in the care and support of older people examines the nature
of decision making, and discusses the factors involved in decision-making by
the range of those who interact with the elderly. Also examined are risk
management and trust development strategies, as well as where responsibility
for decision-making lies.
2) Risk,trust and relationships in an ageing society considers the role of
individual motivation and cognition in dealing with some of the challenges,
choices and tensions confronted in daily life in relation to the issues of risk
and trust. It looks at both informal and semi-formal caring and supportive
relationships.
