Data are presented on the social and economic conditions influencing the care of the elderly in Ghana. The data consist of research findings, personal observations, and field studies of University of Ghana social work students as well as information from case studies of HelpAge Ghana's "Adopt a Granny Program". Changes in the traditional family pattern indicate that the nuclear family, including grandchildren, is taking on a crucial role in the care of the elderly.
