Long-Term Care Medicine: A Pocket Guide lessens the uncertainty involved in caring for patients in a long-term care facility. This practical pocket guide is divided into four sections: Introduction, Common Clinical Conditions, Psychosocial Aspects, and Special Issues in Long-Term Care. The chapters address all the varied components of the LTC system as well as how to take care of the patients and residents living within it. The contributors to this easy-to-read guide are passionate about LTC and many have worked within the American Medical Directors Association to create and disseminate a knowledge base for practitioners. Long-Term Care Medicine: A Pocket Guide is an invaluable resource for clinicians, practitioners, and educators who are seeking to optimize the care and living experience of residents in LTC by providing resident-centered care as well as resident choice, well-being, dignity, and an improved quality of life.

From the reviews:
Its purpose it to provide a compact, thorough guide to medical care in a variety of long-term care settings. These are indeed worthy objectives and the authors succeed handsomely in all regards. The audience is practitioners and trainees of long-term care medicine. This is an excellent and very well-edited book. The approach to caring for the families of long-term care patients is particularly strong and filled with useful advice. This book is the front porch light of that house. (David O. Staats, Doody s Review Service, June, 2011)
Fenstemacher and Winn together with 20 knowledgeable contributors have produced this splendid, concise, inexpensive little book . address all the varied components of the long-term care system whether for remaining at home or for living within institutions, maintaining their happiness, self-respect, and quality of life, all the way through. (William H. Wehrmacher, Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, 2011)
