This eminently practical book applies the task-centered model to
gerontological practice across various settings (community based,
hospital based, home healthcare, etc.). After an introductory
chapter presenting demographic background information and outlining
the common problems and needs of an elderly population, the book
describes the continuum of care and the principal providers of
services.
"Gerontological Social Work" features in-depth coverage of
specific client problems, such as physical or mental health,
caregiving, home and personal safety, senior living, and long-term
care arrangements. A series of task planners offer a menu of
possible actions that can resolve or alleviate a designated
problem. Rating scales, schedules, and other forms assist the
practitioner and client in the intervention process. An appendix
classified by topic lists hundreds of Web sites related to work
with the elderly.
