| Annotation | This volume is a collection of papers from a Consensus Conference convened by the Benedictine Institute for Long Term Care, to establish guidelines for programme and policy development which systematically examine barriers to residents' autonomy in long-term care facilities. Factors such as physical disabilities, cognitive impairment, and long-term financing are discussed. The concluding chapters focus on models and strategies for care that are designed to enhance resident autonomy and to improve quality of life in the United States, Denmark and Sweden. |
