Develop Independence


Book Description

You're thinking about how to provide the best care possible for a loved one. I applaud you for caring enough to be concerned: your loved one is already in a better position than many others because of you. Additional care beyond what someone can provide for his or herself, could be needed for many reasons. The stereotype is that of a frail elderly person who is simply unable to provide appropriate self-care, but there are other scenarios that warrant searching out additional care. If someone has an illness or injury, that person could potentially require short or long-term assistance in order to live a fulfilled life. Disability, whether congenital or due to some sort of trauma, could also make additional care desirable. This book will let you know about Promoting Independent Self Care. It will help people remain in the home rather than be admitted to an out of home placement.

The demand for residential communities for seniors rises as the U.S. population continues to age.

Pearce offers a wealth of sound advice and practical solutions. He discusses resident relations, operating methods, staffing ratios, department management, cost containment, sales and marketing strategies, techniques of financial analysis, budgeting, and human resources.
