Long-term care is most always a crisis when it happens and decisions have to be made in such a short period of time. With the advent of the internet and community resources to draw upon, most people mange the best they can. I was introduced to this book some 5 years ago when volunteering as a Certified Long-term care Ombudsman. It's now in it's Second Edition. A must read for anyone admitting and overseeing the care of a loved one. Bill McCool Columbus, OH

A wonderful book ! It tells you all of the things that you might get a nursing home to do for your loved one. Unfortunately, it doesn't say that there is NO way in h--- that any nursing home will do any of it. (Especially a for profit one.) They just look at you as if you have two heads and continue doing what they always do, much to the detriment of the one you love and feel responsible for.
A valuable resource for health care consumers

I am a registered nurse with past long-term care experience (I was a nursing assistant before becoming an RN) and family member of a nursing home resident. I believe this book hits the mark as a helpful guide to consumers of nursing home care and their families. It helps readers to understand the rights of nursing home residents, and what steps to take to be sure those are honored. It is clearly written and provides lots of practical guidance. In short, I think anyone who anticipates the need for services of a long-term care facility, or whose family member is already a nursing home resident, should get this book. Nursing home residents need advocates, and family members who are well informed can better act on their loved ones' behalf. Some wonderful initiatives are underway to make nursing homes better places to live; this book also explains how to join in this effort.
