| Annotation | This book was previously published as 'Care of the long-stay elderly patient' (2nd ed., Chapman and Hall, 1991), the change of title reflecting changes that have occurred since. 'Continuing care for older people' considers general and specific aspects of long-term care, including how to measure quality of life, quality standards, nursing and medical care, ethical dilemmas, the role of purchasers, and the mixed economy. A section on general and specific aspects of care includes: patients' rights; community care; physicians' and physiotherapists' roles; occupational therapy for older people with mental health problems; communication; nutritional care; furniture and equipment; education and creativity; dramatherapy; and music therapy. A final section of case studies aims to show how ideas and concepts can be put into practice in specific homes in the public and private sectors. |
