As the Baby Boomers age, concerns over healthcare systems' abilities to accommodate geriatric patients grow increasingly challenging. This is especially true with the population deemed to be “the oldest of the old,” specifically those over the age of 85. Unlike any other time in history, this demographic is the fastest growing segment of most developed countries. In the United States the oldest old is projected to double from 4.3 million to 9.6 million by 2030. The increased life expectancy of the population since the early 1900s has been built on the improvement of living conditions, diet, public health and advancement in medical care. With this we have seen a steady decline in the age-specific prevalence of vascular and heart diseases, stroke and even dementia. Older persons are healthier today than their counterparts decades ago. More importantly than in any other age group, the care of the oldest old must be individualized; management decisions should be made taking into consideration the older persons’ expressed wishes, quality of life, function and mental capacity. The inevitable consequence is that there will be an increase in the prevalence of older persons with chronic diseases, multiple co-existing pathologies and neuro-degenerative diseases. The oldest of the aging population are often excluded from drug trials and their treatments are largely based on findings extrapolated from that of the younger old. Furthermore, among the oldest old, physiologically they are more diverse than other segments of the population. Their demographic characteristics are unparalleled and different compared to that of the younger old. Several studies have drawn attention to the differing attitudes among health professionals towards elderly people and many show prejudice because they are old. As a result, the use of age as a criteria in determining the appropriateness of treatment is of very limited validity, yet there are limited resources that guide physicians through these challenges. This book creates a greater awareness of these challenges and offers practical guidelines for working within the infrastructures vital to this demographic. This book is designed for geriatricians, primary care physicians, junior medical officers, specialty geriatrics nurses, and gerontologists. It is divided into 3 sections: General Considerations, Chronic diseases and Geriatric Syndromes. Each chapter provides a summary of important and essential information under the heading of Key Points. Case studies are included in some of the chapters to highlight the principles of management.

This book describes geriatrics practice models that are used to guide the care of older adults, allowing seniors to remain at home, prevent functional disability and preserve quality of life. The models include specific interventions which are performed by health care workers to address the needs of older persons and their caregivers. These models respect patient values, consider patient safety and appreciate psychosocial needs as well. Divided into six parts that discuss hospital-based models of care, transitions from hospital to home, outpatient-based models of care and emergency department models of care, this text addresses the needs of vulnerable patients and the community. Geriatric Models of Care is an excellent resource for health care leaders who must translate these programs to address the needs of the patients in their communities.

After the highly respected author discovered a resident's box of old love letters as teenage nursing-home aide in 1977, her view of elderly patients was altered and inspired her lifelong career of geriatric care and advocating for quality elder care. She provides us an overview of aging and elder care in the U.S in this best-selling and multi award winning book. Drawing upon over 3 decades of experience and her interviews with seniors, Angil Tarach-Ritchey RN, GCM reveals the rich inner worlds of the elderly, conveys their advice and describes her vision of a community-based, intergenerational, and sustainable approach to senior living and care for our aging future as we face the Elder Boom(tm) crisis.Who Will Benefit From Reading Behind the Old Face?1.

If you want a positive and uplifting aging future in your own home that you can look forward to rather than dread, and won't send you to the poorhouse this book is for you! 3. Caregivers, both family caregivers and professionals in healthcare, since the vast majority will care for seniors in one capacity or another and are all of us are aging too. Whether you are a nurse's aide in a skilled nursing home, a physician in ER, a volunteer directing patients, a social worker, nurse, therapist, or are in insurance sales or financial planning, we all come in contact with seniors and need to better understand aging in those we care and interact with, and ourselves.4. Business Owners are losing 34 billion dollars annually in lost productivity related to employed family caregivers and this problem is going to get much deeper and far reaching than most realize as care costs become unaffordable for the vast majority, and government programs that are currently helping those under the poverty line will not be able to meet future costs. Find out how you can become part of the solution!5. Government Officials in aging, housing, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Veterans Administration who have a vested interest in how our nation will handle 78 million aging boomers.6. Philanthropists, Foundations, Major Corporations, Patient Advocates, Hospitals, and other nonprofits interested in aging, senior health, the changing population, social change, and being a part of a great aging future.7. Our country as a whole because the one thing we have in common from the day we were born is we are all aging. Find out how to reduce healthcare and custodial care costs all without taxing family members and US businesses. Honorable Book Endorsements"This book is a must read for the Baby Boomer generation.
