"Based on the concept that vulnerability in the older populace encompasses those who are at increased risk for physical and psychosocial health problems, this book takes a closer look at vulnerability and how it affects five specific populations within the elderly -- those incarcerated in prisons, the homeless, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people, those who are HIV positive or living with AIDS and the frail. Both physical and psychosocial health care issues and needs are addressed as well as interventions and resources that can be implemented to care for these very specific populations and their requirements for successful physical and mental health care.
