Library Journal Review

This is a practical guide geared toward church groups and other organizations interested in providing community services for the elderly. The program suggestions are organized according to Maslow's need-hierarchy (physiological, security, love, esteem, and self-actualization). Gillies describes a variety of successful programs including Meals on Wheels, health programs, housing alternatives, adult daycare, transportation, legal aid, and emotional support systems. After explaining certain programs, Gillies enumerates steps necessary to establish similar programs successfully. Particularly useful is the inclusion of addresses for programs, federal funding sources, and housing agencies. Highly recommended for public libraries, church libraries, and academic libraries with social services collections. Ruth H. Dukelow, Library of Michigan, Lansing (c) Copyright 2010.
