Since the underlying theme of the 1999 International Year of Older Persons was 'Towards a society for all ages', analysis of client groups at the extremes of the age structure should not be neglected. The research reported here was undertaken as part of the International Year and presents a brief investigation of an under-researched group of very long-lived individuals who occasionally interact with social workers working in aged care. Following some introductory information on the socio-demographics of this group, findings on their health status are presented, as well as social workers' experiences of working with centenarians. The study finds that despite their unique age, the health and social support required is no different from that needed by much younger aged clients. This important finding of heterogeneity and inter-individual variability should assist social work advocates arguing against stereotyping this group based solely on their outstanding chronological characteristic. |
