This book's main goal is to examine the concept of residential care
from a psychological perspective. The chapter authors espouse a
psychological approach to long-term residential care and an effort
is made throughout the text to present a model of care that
encompasses the whole individual. Since psychologists are being
increasingly asked to provide consultation to long-term residential
care facilities, the need for psychologically-based care models has
become apparent. This text offers assistance in developing and
maintaining residential care environments that maximize quality of
life and personal well-being in the presence of declining physical
and emotional resources that are associated with the vicissitudes
of living into advanced aging.
"Geriatric Residential Care" is divided into four parts. Part I
addresses psychological and social issues facing the frail elderly
who are candidates for, or are living in residential care settings.
Part II addresses issues in the assessment of individuals in
residential care. Part III highlights the design and execution of
intervention strategies in residential care. Part IV addresses how
organizational aspects of residential care contexts can optimize
the quality and meaningfulness of care.
