Download or read book Intermediate and Continuing Care written by Brenda Roe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intermediate care comprises strategies which allow early discharge from acute care, prevent admission or re-admission to acute care and avoid bed-blocking in both acute and long-term residential care. It encompasses a range of short-term options including rapid response, hospital at home, residential rehabilitation, supported discharge and day rehabilitation. Continuing Care is delivered on a long-term basis in a variety of settings and often includes an element of rehabilitation. Although these two types of care have distinct objectives, they are interrelated as changes in the supply of one type of care may affect demands for the other. In addition, from a patient perspective, intermediate and continuing care might be seen as part of the continuum of care options that are supplied to meet their needs. This book argues for consideration of intermediate and continuing care as part of the care continuum that provides integrated care adopting whole system approaches. This edited volume explores policy, practice and current issues in intermediate and continuing care. It will be of interest to allhealth and social care professionals involved in the provision and planning of care for older people. It falls in three parts: intermediate care, continuing care, and a shorter section on patient and public involvement and future directions.

[...] The commission argued that by shifting resources from institutional and acute care to the community, and by focusing on health promotion and early intervention strategies, individual health status could be improved and health care costs controlled.2 The reality of the closer to home strategy has not, however, always kept pace with the government's rhetoric and the funding has rarely "followed the [...] The first section examines the overall context in which the restructuring of residential and home health care services is occurring: that is, the reduction in the availability of acute care beds and changes in population demographics.

Download or read book Understanding Disability Policy written by Roulstone, Alan and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2012-01-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of scarce social resources the question of the changing social policy constructions and responses to disabled people has become increasingly important. Paradoxically, some disabled people are realising new freedoms and choices never before envisioned, whilst others are prey to major retractions in public services and aggressive attempts to redefine who counts as 'genuinely disabled'. Understanding disability policy locates disability policy into broader social policy and welfare policy writings and goes beyond narrow statutory evaluations of welfare to embrace a range of indicators of disabled people's welfare. The book critically explores the roles of social security, social support, poverty, socio-economic status, community safety, official discourses and spatial change in shaping disabled people's opportunities. It also situates welfare and disability policy in the broader conceptual shifts to the social model of disability and its critics. Finally it explores the possible connection between changing official and academic constructions of disability and their implications for social policy in the 21st century. The book is supported by a companion website, containing additional materials for both students and lecturers using the book, which is available from the link above.

Book excerpt: Twenty years ago long-term care meant a nursing home. But not anymore! The world of long-term care has expanded to include everything from home care to skilled nursing services, from assisted living residences to intermediate care. In fact, right now long-term care is the fastest growing segment in the health care market, and for the consumer, long-term care offers a world of options. But these options can be confusing and the questions many. How much care is needed? Where is the best place to receive it? Can the family provide care in the home? Will Medicare pay for it? What is the difference between a retirement and assisted living facility? Is long-term-care insurance a good investment? How should long-term-care options be evaluated? In Long-Term Care and Its Alternatives you'll learn what to look for when evaluating services and facilities; what community agencies and organizations offer you their services; the pros and cons of home health care, independent living, continuing care communities, and assisted living residences; how to pay for long-term care without going bankrupt; the questions to ask before making a long-term-care decision; and what the federal and state government can do to help you out. Long-Term Care and Its Alternatives may be the most valuable tool you own in your walk through the long-term-care maze. Written in an easy-to-read, consumer-friendly, style, the book takes you on a step-by-step tour through the myriad of long-term-care services and options.
