The solutions presented address challenges including: providing person-centered long-term care, making palliative care accessible in all healthcare settings and the home, enabling aging-in-place, financing long-term care, improving care coordination and access to care, delivering hospital-level and emergency care in the home and retirement community settings, merging health and social care, supporting people living with dementia and their caregivers, creating communities and employment opportunities that are accessible and welcoming to those of all ages and abilities, and combating the stigma of aging.

This manual is designed to help clinicians, administrators, and families attain the goal of restraint-free care of frail elderly persons. Practical alternatives to restraint models of support, developed by nursing home and hospital caregivers, are presented as individualized care models. The manual is organized in outline form to highlight critical material and to ensure quick access to solutions. The objectives of restraint-free care include not only comfort and safety, but the best possible quality of life. This philosophy of care requires that caregivers make sense of clients' behaviors, rather than to simply control their responses.
