Product Description
Long-Term Care: Managing Across the Continuum, Third Edition is an ideal introduction to management in this dynamic industry. Concise, yet complete, it defines the various segments of the system, describes how the system developed to its current state, compares it to an ideal system, and projects future trends. Adopted as a reference for the national licensing examination prepared by the National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB), this book covers the full continuum of long-term care. The Third Edition is a comprehensive revision reflecting the changes in regulations, financing methods, forms of service delivery, and management methods in this dynamic field. The increasingly important topics of the aging of American society, the impact of the baby-boomers , consumer choice, and the growing diversity in long-term care are covered extensively and from a variety of perspectives. The final chapters address the future of long-term care and include recommendations for dealing with it proactively. Key Features: Covers the full continuum of long-term care in enough detail to develop a sound understanding, yet does not get bogged down in overly-specific detail. Case studies in selected chapters, as well as discussion questions, vocabulary terms, and online interactive resources engage the student in learning. Includes two new chapters: Senior Housing and Leadership and Culture Change.
