a comparison of patient and staff perceptions of characteristics that contribute to the quality of LTC facilities
a multidisciplinary team approach to the treatment of dementia
training LTC caregivers in behavioral techniques
The third section of this remarkable volume addresses the thorny ethical and legal issues unique to LTC residents, including legal definitions, requirements for obtaining informed consent from LTC patients, and confidentiality dilemmas that are unique to clinical services in long-term care.
With helpful charts, tables, and fascinating case studies that illustrate clinical issues, this user-friendly text belongs on the reference shelf of everyone involved in providing mental health services to people in long-term care settings!
