Targeting the root cause of public discontent with the quality of
care given by hospitals, nursing homes, mental institutions, and
home health care agencies, Nancy Fox opens fire on those aspects of
the system that waste time, money, and sometimes lives. For Ms.
Fox, drastic changes are needed in American health care delivery.
She urges that we humanise the system by putting the patient first,
a conclusion she reached by researching institutions in over forty
states, Canada, and China.
This book suggests what to look for when choosing a facility, how
to monitor the care offered, and the kinds of supervision and
services that should be available. For residents and caregivers
alike, the authors offer valuable suggestions and illustrate
activities that contribute to total mental and physical well-being.
The book includes valuable appendixes that feature important facts
about retirement facilities and tips on how to evaluate a
residential care facility. Families and professionals will find
this book to be a valuable guide to one of the fastest-growing
housing and health care options available to the aged.
The current imperative to make healthcare and long-term care
services more person centered is hampered by leaders and providers
who are stuck in old management paradigms. Transformational leader
Nancy Fox takes you through real-life experiences and succinct,
powerful lessons in human, social, and organizational behavior to
help teach the skills needed for creating and sustaining
high-performing caring communities populated with engaged and
committed staff. Valuable features include: Key principles
illustrated with compelling stories Assessment and change-guiding
tools Grounding in the modern sciences of human behavior Hopeful,
encouraging, and inspirational message 2018 National Mature Media
