| Annotation | This book provides essential information for caring for older people in hospitals, residential and nursing homes, in the community and at home, and will help those preparing for assessment for vocational qualifications (levels 2 and 3 SVQs and NVQs). It covers the general aspects of caring for the older person, interpersonal skills, promoting independence, assisting with activities of daily living, and supporting relatives and other carers looking after older people. A feature of the text is the use of 'activities', which encourages the reader to stop, think and consider care given or action to be taken under certain circumstances. |
