Reablement In Long-term Care For Older People : International Perspectives And Future Directions
Hardback Edition: 1
Our societies are ageing, and we need to identify sustainable and person-centred solutions for supporting frail older people in their homes.
Reablement offers a radical new integrated care approach which supports older people to regain and maintain functioning and independence. This interdisciplinary book provides an introduction to the remarkable, if haphazard, international growth in reablement policies and practices in aged care over the past 20 years.
Incorporating theoretical and empirical research, it considers benefits for clients and care workers, cost-saving potentials and reablement provision for people with dementia. Finally, the book reflects on key findings, challenges and the way forward for long-term care for older people.
John Parsons is Associate Professor in Nursing inthe Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at The University of Auckland, New Zealand.
