If you work in a nursing home, this is the book for you! The first 85 pages are exerpts from a journal written by David Farrell as he took on the responsibilities of nursing home administrator. His stories will make you weep -- the loneliness and helplessness of the residents, the frustration of the nursing home caregivers and then the realization that to fix the problems was so simple....The rest of the book talks about the organizational workplace practices that build a foundation for good care and quality of life. it's a "how-to" written in language you will understand. This is the only book like it and will likely become the administrator's Bible!
This book contains lots of great ideas and best practices for leaders in Long Term Care. A must read for nursing home administrators. This book will get you out of your office and into the halls of your nursing home with many tools for successful outcomes.
I am still in the process of reading this book. I really enjoy reading about his day-to-day struggles and some of the solutions he comes up with. I can relate to so many of these challenges. It is really difficult to put down when I do get a chance to sit down and read. Very realistic.
These authors are the best at resident-directed care. This book is a blue print for anyone working in LTC.
Great book for any nursing home administrator or student looking to acquire more info in the field.
