A first in the field of long-term care, The Encyclopedia of Elder Care features nearly 300 articles focusing on practical information on how to care for this fast-growing population. Written by experts, this state-of-the-art resource addresses all aspects of clinical care of the elderly: home care, including family-based care, nursing home care, rehabilitation, case management, social services, assisted living, palliative care, and more. While other reference sources on care and intervention usually focus on one discipline, The Reference of Elder Care provides multidisciplinary perspectives in nursing, medicine, social work, counseling, even denistry and physical therapy. Each article concludes with references to pertinent websites. Easy to read and extensively cross-referenced, The Encyclopedia of Elder Care will be an indepensable tool for all in the caring professions.
