About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“Its purpose it to provide a compact, thorough guide to medical care in a variety of long-term care settings. These are indeed worthy objectives and the authors succeed handsomely in all regards. … The audience is practitioners and trainees of long-term care medicine. … This is an excellent and very well-edited book. … The approach to caring for the families of long-term care patients is particularly strong and filled with useful advice. … This book is the front porch light of that house.” (David O. Staats, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2011)
“Fenstemacher and Winn together with 20 knowledgeable contributors have produced this splendid, concise, inexpensive little book … . address all the varied components of the long-term care system whether for remaining at home or for living within institutions, maintaining their happiness, self-respect, and quality of life, all the way through.” (William H. Wehrmacher, Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, 2011)
