Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book address what I believe is this biggest problem when a senior citizen or the family attempts to choose an Assisted Living Facility. That problem is a lack of knowledge about how one may address this issue. This book addresses that issue by explaining not only the definition of an Assisted Living Facility and what one can expect but takes the reader on an tour of such a facility and informing them what to look for during that tour and what questions to ask. The information shared includes experience with his own family, experience with his in-laws and the last three years as a resident in an Assisted Living Facility. The experienced shared are therefore from a family perspective and a resident's perspective. Thank you and enjoy the journey. Jackie LeRoy Author

Download or read book Dementia Reimagined written by Tia Powell and published by Avery. This book was released on 2019 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural and medical history of dementia and Alzheimer's disease by a leading psychiatrist and bioethicist who urges us to turn our focus from cure to care. Despite being a physician and a bioethicist, Tia Powell wasn't prepared to address the challenges she faced when her grandmother, and then her mother, were diagnosed with dementia--not to mention confronting the hard truth that her own odds aren't great. In the U.S., 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day; by the time a person reaches 85, their chances of having dementia approach 50 percent. And the truth is, there is no cure, and none coming soon, despite the perpetual promises by pharmaceutical companies that they are just one more expensive study away from a pill. Dr. Powell's goal is to move the conversation away from an exclusive focus on cure to a genuine appreciation of care--what we can do for those who have dementia, and how to keep life meaningful and even joyful. Reimagining Dementia is a moving combination of medicine and memoir, peeling back the untold history of dementia, from the story of Solomon Fuller, a black doctor whose research at the turn of the twentieth century anticipated important aspects of what we know about dementia today, to what has been gained and lost with the recent bonanza of funding for Alzheimer's at the expense of other forms of the disease. In demystifying dementia, Dr. Powell helps us understand it with clearer eyes, from the point of view of both physician and caregiver. Ultimately, she wants us all to know that dementia is not only about loss--it's also about the preservation of dignity and hope.

Book excerpt: Among the issues confronting America is long-term care for frail, older persons and others with chronic conditions and functional limitations that limit their ability to care for themselves. Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care takes a comprehensive look at the quality of care and quality of life in long-term care, including nursing homes, home health agencies, residential care facilities, family members and a variety of others. This book describes the current state of long-term care, identifying problem areas and offering recommendations for federal and state policymakers. Who uses long-term care? How have the characteristics of this population changed over time? What paths do people follow in long term care? The committee provides the latest information on these and other key questions. This book explores strengths and limitations of available data and research literature especially for settings other than nursing homes, on methods to measure, oversee, and improve the quality of long-term care. The committee makes recommendations on setting and enforcing standards of care, strengthening the caregiving workforce, reimbursement issues, and expanding the knowledge base to guide organizational and individual caregivers in improving the quality of care.

Book excerpt: "As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have worked with families as they begin, and then navigate, the complex experience of making decisions about senior care communities. This process includes, but is not limited to, deciding when to transition a senior from home to a care facility, what type of facility is most appropriate, and the family's budget. Often, over the course of this process, families evaluate the quality of a facility, and what cost options align with only to find that they have lots of questions and relatively few answers, and end up making what amounts to an uninformed decision, despite this being one of the most important that they may ever make. Assisted Living 9-1-1 is a compassionately written practical guide, giving living care decision making.
