Bücher der Reihe Gerontology

The last chapter is a new summary of practical solutions useful to family members and professionals.

Essays examine not only the prominent role that biomedical and clinical researchers have played in defining Alzheimer disease, but the ways in which the perspectives of patients, their caregivers, and the broader public have shaped concepts.

These questions have broad implications for the policy, administration, and operation of assisted living.

From outlines for community-based program planning and development to discussions about the future challenges for health care systems and services, this book is an ideal reference for gerontology, public policy, and public health professionals and professionals in training.
