Download or read book Assisted Living written by Sheryl Zimmerman and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2001-11-30 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the number of elderly persons needing long-term care expected to double to 14 million over the next two decades, assisted living has become the popular choice for housing or care. Assisted living represents a promising model of long-term care that blurs the sharp distinction between nursing homes and community-based care and reduces the gap between receiving long-term care in one's own home and in an "institution." Assisted Living: Needs, Practices, and Policies in Residential Care for the Elderly examines the evolving field of residential care and focuses on national issues of regulation, reimbursement, and staffing. The book is based on a four-state study of assisted living facilities and describes the facilities, the persons residing in them and their needs, and how the services vary by facility. Because one-third to two-thirds of residents in assisted living facilities have cognitive impairment, special attention is devoted to dementia care. The book also focuses on how today's long-term health care environment evolved, and it examines the future direction and implications of assisted living. Assisted Living: Needs, Practices, and Policies in Residential Care for the Elderly brings together a group of nationally recognized experts to help define the types of residential care that should be encouraged and sets guidelines for selecting an appropriate type of facility.

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.
