Abstract
This article sets out to challenge the way social work with the elderly is presently viewed. By using the nursing home placement as the starting point, it attempts to question why social workers have this limited idea of work with the elderly. The paper states that social workers have taken this limited approach due to their own self-imposed limitations. These limitations are examined and social workers are challenged to confront these barriers and be creative in their approach to this area of social work practice.Keywords
