Successful Models of Community Long Term Care Services for the Elderly

By: Eloise H Killeffer,Ruth Bennett

Learn about the exciting possibilities for maintaining elderly residents in their own homes by marshalling available resources to pay for needed support services. Experienced practitioners provide examples of successful community-based long-term care service programs for the elderly, programs that are supported by a mix of public funds and private resources. They explore the role of service providers in developing successful models of community-based long-term care services--housing, home care services, comprehensive senior centers, and day care, among others--and discuss not only the successes of the particular programs but the obstacles and barriers that had to be overcome as well. Chapters focus on policies for the development of effective models, from the perspectives of municipal, county, state, and federal governments involved in community service provision, and the role of colleges and universities in training personnel to develop and implement community-based long term care services. Taken together, this tutorial, taught by practitioners who offer wisdom and insight based on their hands-on experience, is indeed a unique contribution to the field of long-term care.

CREATIVE LONG-TERM CARE ADMINISTRATION

(4th Ed.)

By: George Kenneth Gordon,Leslie A. Grant,Ruth Stryker

The prior three editions of this book were extremely well received for use in undergraduate and graduate courses in long-term care administration, and they were also popular as fundamental resources with practitioners as well as for an array of other long-term care practitioners and professions, including housing managers, board members, teachers, students, administrators, owners, and health care professionals who are seeking new directions in the field. This, the fourth edition, has been extensively revised. There is, for example, the fundamental updating throughout to reflect structural and regulatory changes that have been occurring in the field as well as the introduction of recent research findings, evolving ideas, and new practices. In addition, there are new perspectives introduced by nine new chapter authors plus three entirely new chapters: monitoring clinical outcomes, spiritual care, and using information technology. The book is divided into six sections: The Evolution of Long-Term Care; Developing the Organization; Human Resource Management; Optimizing Health Care Outcomes; Creating a Supportive Living Environment; and Creating a Better Future. This new edition also has an additional author, Dr. Leslie Grant, whose seasoned scholarship and visionary leadership will provide important, additional insight for the reader. The ideas presented are intended to provide a better understanding of the long-term care environment and to suggest ways of applying interdisciplinary knowledge for the administrator in this setting.

Guide to the Mammals of Pennsylvania

By: Joseph F. Merritt,Ruth Anne Matinko

From the tiny shrew to the black bear, Pennsylvania's hills and valleys are teeming with sixty-three species of wild mammals. Many of these animals are rarely seen except when pursued by an interested biologist, mammologist, or nature photographer. Now, with the publication of this book, student, scholar, and nature lover alike will have a ready reference to distinguish between a deer mouse and a white-footed mouse, to identify raccoon tracks, and to learn about Pennsylvania's other inhabitants. An attractive backpack-size volume, written in lively prose, the Guide to the Mammals of Pennsylvania opens with a short introduction to Pennsylvania's environment and the characteristics defining a mammal. The bulk of the book consists of species accounts of the mammals grouped into families and orders. Each account includes a short list of data, a Pennsylvania range map, a North American range map, and a narrative of the physical, ecological, and behavioral characteristics of the species. Exciting photographs of each of the species in its natural habitat, 17 in color, and drawings of animal tracks are especially useful for identification, and a glossary and a bibliography provide definitions and references for the serious reader. Naturalists, whether amateur or professional, will find the book useful in the field; it will be an indispensable tool in the classroom.
