Selected Themes in Nursing Home Management presents a critical examination of traditional practices by managements of nursing homes-practices that have rendered illusory the accomplishment of the noble goals of providing needed care for the elderly population. Anchored in real floor experiences of the author, the book provides a roadmap toward the destination of compassionate care for the elderly. It is a compelling read for policy makers, department of health regulators and supervisors, nursing home managers and staff, and students of healthcare management.
