This practical toolkit informs readers of ways to ensure the right medication in the right dose, for the right patient at the right time. It covers every aspect of looking after and delivering medicines in the care home environment. The easy-to-read format, with questions and exercises for individuals and groups, makes the text ideal as a framework for teaching and accredited learning. This handbook is vital for care professionals working in residential and nursing homes, their managers and supervisors. It is also invaluable for trainee care and nursing assistants including students in further education. 'When inspectors said thousands of care home residents were being given the wrong medication - the image of a grotty, poorly run nursing home reared its stereotypical head. How could something so simple as giving a patient their daily dose of tablets be going so wrong, so many times over? But according to care professionals, management of residents' medication is one of the most complex areas of running a nursing home, and unless fail-safe practices are adhered to, the results can be very damaging to both the resident and the care worker. Clearly, it's time to sort this out!' - Roy Lilley and Paul Lambden with Alan Gillies, in the Introduction.

"The Nursing Home Book offers a series of vignettes derived from the encounters and experiences of those residents at Stoneybrook. Make no mistake -- the residents of a nursing home, those no longer able to care for themselves, continue to cling to the hopes and dreams of their youth. Those at Stoneybrook are no different. None of those residents, regardless of background or walk of life, ever intended on spending their last days at such an institution. But whether by accident or otherwise they are all her together -- in this place."--

Holistic Nursing Home Management in the Era of Change: A Pathway to a Sustainable Nursing Home Quality discusses different topics about nursing homes, advocating the holistic management approach, meaning that all parts of a human person or organization especially in nursing homes must be integrally managed as one whole. Originating from the medical and nursing traditions, the holistic management advocacy is attributed to the wisdom of Hippocrates, Florence Nightingale, and Allan Savory in business practices. The book provides our readers important insights into the evolutions, misgivings and progress that have occurred within the nursing home industry, dating back to the 10th century Almshouse/Poorhouse. Nursing home practitioners will assimilate the fundamentals and framework of change needed in leadership, managerial, supervisory, technical, clinical functions and staffing affecting each resident’s needs concept and managing nursing homes as a business in the holistic perspective, to achieve nursing home quality and LTC regulatory compliance.

"This is not another treatise against institutions for the elderly and disabled. Using the medium of fiction, G. Janet Tulloch has written an accurate, unsentimental and well-detailed portrayal of nursing home life. rather than emphasizing the horrors and limitations of such living, the author has depicted the struggle for personal dignity and individuality by the residents, showing that neglect and victimization by the staff is more often caused by indifference and insensitivity than intentional cruelty. The main character, Joady, has an unnamed physical handicap which enables her to lead a more active life than her friends who are victims of cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, old age and senility. All are in the process of dying, to various degrees. But all of them are engaged in the common frustrations of daily living. All are in the process of dying, to various degrees. But all of them are engaged in the common frustrations of daily living. When Joady visits close friends at Christmas, she discovers that her situation is not unique, that people outside can be guilty too for this same insensitivity which deprives human beings of understanding what they do to each other. Janet Tulloch has lived in a nursing home since 1965, and her first-hand insights are more valuable than the most sincere and thorough investigative efforts of outsiders reporting on the suddenly newsworthy nursing-home scandals. A Home Is Not A Home is indispensable reading for anyone who has a relative in a nursing home or who is facing such a decision either for themselves or for loved ones. It should be required reading for legislators, doctors and nurses, counselors, volunteers, pastors and nursing home trustees" -- Dust jacket.

Medication mishaps can and do happen in nursing homes. This highly important new book focuses on the scope of drug-related problems (DRP) of misuse and adverse reaction to medications in the nursing home environment. Experts provide practical methods for detecting DRPs, they explain a systematic approach to preventing DRPs, and they document the magnitude of DRPs in the long term care setting. Each chapter of this timely book deals with a different type of drug-related problem and includes operational definitions, prevalence of the problem, and the actions needed to detect and minimize risk and prevent recurrence. A checklist at the end of each chapter aids readers in assessing specific problems in nursing homes, home health care, day care settings, and other locations in which medications are given to the elderly. Illustrative case examples are used throughout the text. With an emphasis on awareness and change, Drug-Related Problems in Geriatric Nursing Home Patients will be invaluable for pharmacists, physicians, and nurses who work in long term care; health care planners who need to be cognizant of the scope and magnitude of medication mishaps in the nursing home; administrators who are ultimately responsible for such problems. Students and educators will find the information, and especially the checklists, timely and practical.
