Caring for Older People Summary

Caring for Older People: Developing Specialist Practice addresses the care of older people in the community, nursing and residential homes, and in the hospital setting. This unique text charts the development of this nursing specialty and contains a broad range of up-to-date, evidence-based material covering aspects such as quality of life, mobility, social interaction, sexuality, community perspectives and the care of those with learning disabilities or mental health problems.



Written by a well-respected group of clinical experts, this comprehensive text adopts a positive, modern approach to nursing older people, and recognises that the goals of the older person are concentrated on independence.



This book is highly recommended for nursing students at both pre- and post- registration levels who are specialising in caring for older people. It will also be of interest to health and social services staff who are responsible for caring for older people, and for staff working in nursing and residential homes.
