POLAND, Ohio (MMD Newswire) March 17, 2010 -- The Person-Centered Way: Revolutionizing Quality of Life in Long Term Care by James Collins argues for more individualized care for the aged.
Nursing homes need not be sterile, unwelcoming environments, argues aging-expert and author James Collins in The Person-Centered Way. Instead, Collins supports what he calls person-centered care. Collins supplies a detailed roadmap for understanding why and how nursing homes evolved as they did, and then gives instructions for how to change them for the better.
The Person-Centered Way promotes a brand new way of thinking about aging and quality of life. "Food menus can be more creative even while they comply with residents' specific dietary needs. Budget considerations need not skimp on recreation demands," notes Collins. From dementia care to family involvement and necessary regulations, Collins outlines the benefits of this new kind of environment. Aimed at caregivers, baby boomers and family members, The Person-Centered Way supports changing nursing homes into places where employees love to work and where residents love to live.
The Person-Centered Way: Revolutionizing Quality of Life in Long Term Care is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
