2.0 out of 5 stars nursing homes from a physical therapist's perspective, August 29, 2004
This review is from: The Nursing Home Choice: How to Choose the Ideal Nursing Home (Paperback)
This book is somewhat informative about internal pressures in nursing homes and how they work. For instance, she relates how a physical therapist may be pressured to let less qualified people actually do the work and sign off on it.
But her perspective is pretty exclusively that of a physical therapist and of old people whose conditions CAN improve. This is not everyone and the geriatric nurse perspective she criticizes is actually more humane for many people.
She has some good suggestions on things to look at, people to talk to, and questions to ask of a nursing home, but if you are going to get only one book on the topic, this would not be it.
