In an attempt to challenge the prevailing attitudes and images of
nursing homes in America, the authors have written a touching book
about the people and the relationships that are a part of nursing
home care. Their extensive study of and experience with nursing
home residents and caregivers reveal that our negative and often
painful thoughts about nursing homes are not always well-founded.
The authors effectively use monologue and dialogue to take the
reader into the world of the nursing home to observe the work of
the nursing home staffs, from administrators to housekeepers, as
they become surrogate families and friends of the patients. Most
moving are the thoughts and words of the residents themselves,
especially as they describe their initial horror and anger at being
in the nursing home, and their feelings of abandonment and loss of
self-esteem. Valuable for both undergraduate and graduate courses
in nursing, social work, psychology, death and dying, pastoral care
and counseling, this comprehensive volume is useful as a primary or
supplementary text.BACKCOVER COPY In an attempt to challenge the

The Human Factor in Nursing Home Care provides a new and refreshing
perspective of those who provide care in nursing homes and those
who receive it. And, in the end, it challenges the reader to
consider his or her own images of aging and of dying.
