Elder care has become a growing concern for many families, communities, health professionals, and the many establishments that provide living arrangements for the elderly. To work in elder care, as a professional caregiver or a family care provider, requires a command of current information from multiple disciplines, including nursing, medicine, social work, counseling, as well as dentistry and physical therapy. Now, for the first time, this information has been gathered in a single source.

The Encyclopedia of Elder Care features nearly three hundred articles providing practical information on how to care for elders. Written by more than three hundred experts, this accessible state-of-the-art resource addresses home care, including family-based care; nursing-home care; rehabilitation; case management; social services; assisted living; palliative care; and more.

Each article concludes with references to pertinent Web sites. Easy to read and extensively cross-referenced, this comprehensive resource on geriatric and social care will be an indispensable tool for all who care for our nation's elders.

Mathy D. Mezey, R.N., Ph.D. has been the Independence Foundation Professor of Nursing Education at New York University since 1991, and the director of the John A. Hartford Foundation Institute for the Advancement of Geriatric Nursing Practice since 1996. The author of five books and over fifty publications, Dr. Mezey was previously a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and the director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Teaching Nursing Home Program.
