Publisher Description
"This encyclopedia is a compendium that reflects on that new growth in leadership and knowledge in the field. Drs. Capezuti, Siegler, and Mezey are to be congratulated for their remarkable ability to assemble the most outstanding researchers, clinicians and policy makers to author these informative and useful chapters. With the 'agewave' upon us, inconceivable numbers of older adults will be seeking appropriate, humane, quality care that is data-driven and responsive to the best information in hand. This encyclopedia provides that best information and creates a new baseline from which professions in aging will continue to thrive and grow."-Terry Fulmer, College of Nursing, New York University
