Excellent paper by @SR_Disability on the human rights of older disabled people https://undocs.org/en/A/74/186  Hope work like this inspires more advocates for older people, in the light of Covid19, to pursue new paradigms beyond 'care'

"As impairments among older persons are often seen as a natural aspect of ageing, the barriers to participation that they experience are perceived not as a
social construct, but as a normal fact of life....

..Therefore, efforts are not focused on eliminating barriers or generating options to promote participation, but rather are framed mainly under a medical lens." I think this analysis characterises debate about both ageing and social care in the UK

"Furthermore, low expectations regarding ageing
with a disability lead to the assumption that it is not worthwhile to support the participation of older persons with disabilities....

As a result, differential treatment on
the basis of disability & age is not only widespread but also considered necessary & unproblematic, leading to the normalization of practices that would be considered
unacceptable for other groups, such as younger persons with disabilities"
