Transformational Eldercare from the Inside Out: Strengths-Based Strategies for Caring
Silver Spring, MD - Nursesbooks.org, the publishing program of ANA has just released a dynamic, new practical guide created from interviews with nurses, educators, doctors, social workers, chaplains and long-term care administrators. Transformation Eldercare and its companion Facilitator's Guide are presents a wide array of practical concepts, resources, and higher education and training programs which can be applied to professional practice and for individual care givers of the elderly. Caregivers will learn about the nature of elder hood, not only in terms of growing problems and diminishment, but in promoting transformational elder hood as a time of life that is also marked by social, psychological, and spiritual expansion. The book contains more than 75 strategies and resources to enhance professional services and caring.
The 160 page easy-to-use facilitator guide is contained on a CD-ROM which can be used with the book. The instructor may adapt any parts of the materials in the guide to make it useful for his or her own training purposes.

This book encourages and empowers us as practitioners as it enriches us as individuals to be more person-centered and strengths-based in our work and in our lives."
