Chapter 6
Successful Ageing and Mental Health
Older Persons Act, No. 13 (2006):
- Maintain and promote the status, well-being, safety, and security of older
persons
- Maintain and protect the rights of older persons
- Shift the emphasis from the institutional care to community-based care
to ensure that an older person remains in his or her home in the
community for as long as possible
- Regulate the registration, establishment, and management of services
and the establishment and management for residential facilities for older
persons
- Combat the abuse of older persons
Successful Ageing
- AKA: positive, optimal, effective, independent, healthy, productive, active
ageing
- Definition: refers to the fact that persons are ageing well on all levels of
functioning (physically, cognitively, emotionally, socially)
- Prominent theme in gerontology
- Introduced in 1950s
- Popularised in 1980s as antipode for largely negative perspective
generally held of the elderly (lonely, socially isolated, depressed, suicidal,
demented, frail, burden to society
- Freedom from disease and disease-related disability
- Maintaining high cognitive and physical functioning
- Active engagement in social and productive activities
- Limitations of Rowe-Kahn model:
1. Methodological issues: not able to have one definition of successful
ageing
2. Adaptations and extensions: researchers keep changing the model
3. Objective and subjective meaning: objective, therefore neglects
experience of older people of what ageing means to them. Subjective
view point is important.
4. Overemphasis on biomedical factors: successful= minimal functional
loss, extrinsic factors playing neutral or positive role (this is unrealistic
for older people)
