This working paper presents the results of a literature review carried out in the first work package of the project, "From disability rights towards a rights-based approach to long-term care in Europe: Building an Index of rights-based policies for older people". The authors investigate the key concepts of the movement to secure the rights of people with disabilities in order to understand how the disability rights movement can inform the ongoing policy debate surrounding older people's rights, and potential limitations of the former model in securing the rights older people with care and support needs. The paper concludes by identifying specific human rights that should be considered in the context of care for older people.
