POLICY, ADVICE, AND PROGRAMS THAT WORK IN LONG-TERM CARE

Abstract

Teresa Scherzer, Susan Chapman, and Robert Newcomer examine long-term care from the point of view of the employed personal assistant. The editors attempt to integrate the chapters with a three-page table in the front of the book, which gives one-sentence descriptions of strategies and page numbers where they can be found. The first section of the book prepares trainers to do their own training by reviewing the role of teacher, laying the groundwork for motivation and change, and identifying the special requirements of adult students.
