Apologies for cluttering up your e-mail accounts, but we are doing some
research here at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research on the UK Jewish
voluntary sector, helping charities and similar organizations to plan their
future strategies. Part of the research involves looking at the provision of
elderly care, examining how the services elderly people currently receive in
care homes and the like can be improved. We are looking into the
possibilities of using the Internet to help elderly people in different care
homes stay in contact with people across the country, effectively creating
virtual communities and spaces of elders. If anyone knows of, or is
undertaking, any current research into this area - and the connections
between elderly people and IT in general - could you let me know.
Thanks,
Oliver Valins
