The number of older people who rely on caregiving for their daily needs has been on the rise for many years, and continues to increase as the baby boomer population ages. This fact has highlighted the need for greater understanding and skill training for elder-care assistants in hospitals, residential and nursing homes, the community and at home. Care of the Older Person has been written specifically for these caregivers and provides information necessary to understand and implement good working practices. Written in a clear, easy-to-follow style, this highly illustrated book is both informative and interesting, and encourages active reader participation. Moreover, the book's material has been closely linked to Vocational Qualifications, and therefore will help those preparing for their NVQs.
