Studies show that citizens of assisted living home and helped living facilities are at a substantial threat of having psychiatric disorders. This useful volume offers much-needed medical assistance for the avoidance and suitable treatment of mental disorder in long-lasting care settings. Abhilash K. Desai and George T. Grossberg provide a fundamental framework for a humanistic, team-based approach to fulfilling the needs of senior individuals with mental disorders in long-lasting care facilities. Early chapters cover the demographics of citizens, the public health of their psychiatric symptoms, and the evaluation process. Subsequent chapters concentrate on major disorders, including dementia, delirium, anxiety, psychosis, and stress and anxiety. The authors go over end-of-life concerns and treatments and provide recommendations for enhancing care. Throughout, they highlight the value of the relationship between staff and citizens. Stressing innovative engagement and hands-on care and including clinical vignettes and practical tips, this optimistic volume reinforces the capacity for assisted living home and assisted living facilities to be neighborhoods where citizens prosper.– Kathleen C. Buckwalter, Director, The University of Iowa John A. Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence
