What special skills and knowledge base do practitioners need to
work in nursing homes? What ethical and legal issues do
practitioners face in nursing homes? And how have reforms under the
newly implemented 1987 OBRA legislature affected practice in
nursing homes? With the rapid growth of nursing homes in the 1980s,
questions such as these are now being raised by policymakers,
administrators, practitioners, and others working in nursing homes.
In this highly instructive volume, the authors examine these vital
questions and explore such relevant issues as working with nursing
home residents and their families, managing selected special
populations, working with other members of the nursing home staff,
legal and ethical issues, and the organizational and policy
contexts that shape practice. In addition, the authors include
structured learning tasks that can be used to guide the development
of practice skills in supervised nursing home practicums and field
settings. Professionals from a variety of fields including social
work, nursing, geriatric mental health, medicine, and nursing home
administration will find this book to be an invaluable resource in
their own day to day work. "This book presents a useful and
thorough introduction to the subject of case practice with older
persons in nursing homes. While of interest to anyone who desires
to work with older persons in nursing homes, this book will be
particularly useful to students and professors in social work and
gerontology courses. . . . Instructors will find that the chapters
lend themselves effectively to course organization, and they will
appreciate the model fieldwork assignments that are presented in
the appendix." --Clinical Gerontologist "This book provides a
detailed and practical introduction to the subject of geriatric
case practice in nursing homes. To the authors' credit, the content
reflects a sound psychosocial theoretical base consistent with
social service and social work practice. Students, beginning case
practitioners, and instructors will find this book to be a useful
guide to geriatric case practice in nursing homes." --Clinical
Gerontologist "Generally, the private nursing-home sector is poorly
served with high quality literature specifically relating to this
field; so, it is pleasing to find a book such as Geriatric Case
Practice in Nursing Homes which is extremely well-written and fully
referenced. . . . I definitely recommend [this book] to health-care
staff from any profession who have contact with elderly people,
particularly nursing and rest-home staff, hospital, community- and
day-centre staff, and nursing-home inspectors." --Nursing Standard
"Very useful as a textbook in schools of social work. . . . The
text would be valuable to any professional neophyte in the nursing
home industry who needs an overview of the field, its development
and the policies that are meant to effect change in quality of
care. A major strength of this text is found in the 26-page
appendix which thoughtfully and in great detail provides outlines,
including learning objectives, for implementing several model
fieldwork assignments in nursing homes." --Priscilla Ebersole,
Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N., Geriatric Nursing "It presents a great deal
of informative material with clarity in a well-organizeed and
useful manner. Students and others who work in nursing facilities
will become well-acquainted with the dimensions and complexities of
these institutions when they read this book." --Journal of
Cross-Cultural Gerontology
