The Social Sustainability Theory, as promoted by the Polibienestar Research Institute of the University of Valencia, consists of a joint reorganization of health and social systems to provide an answer to the necessities pf people requiring long-term care. The proposed theory is structured from three basic axiological principies: Social sustainability, Quality of ufe and dignified death, and Social co-responsibility. The book contained 9 papers produced from 2003 to 2010, which provides the scientific foundation of the theory as well as its application to long-term care, mainly by measuring the suitability of resources and implementing case manage-ment in social and health care resources for dependent older people and the organization and coordinaron of social and health care services to reduce the burden of informal caregivers.\
