Recenzje

"Geriatric Residential Care elucidates the issues and offers a model of care that can serve as the foundation for a health networks strategic planning initiatives. The editors unravel the complexities of offering an integrated model of care, which includes the medical, psychological, social, and environmental needs of the older adult...The publisher recommends the text for administrators, students, and licensed professionals. I suggest that it is also a wonderful resource for consumers who will play an important role in shaping the future of residential geriatric care by influencing social policy and by engaging in personal advocacy."
