Summary: What is the lived experience of previously healthy older adults as they face disability in late life, and how is disability assimilated in their identity?

To address these questions, Jeffrey Kahana and Eva Kahana uniquely synthesize disability and gerontological perspectives to explore both the unfolding challenges of aging and the practices and policies that can enhance the lives of older adults.
