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.

This book was released on 2001-02-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: 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.
