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.
