This book clearly identifies the function of starting nursing home social workers and offers details and resources important for them. Topics covered consist of: evaluation; the intake and discharge procedures; interventions; resource allotment; medication; medical diagnosis and treatment of anxiety; dementias; and legal issues, principles, and privacy arrangements. Making the volume still more useful is a glossary of typically utilized terms and abbreviations along with an area of standardized forms and charts. “A Guide for Assisted Living Home Social Workers is an encyclopedia of retirement home practice concerns with which social employees should become familiar. The book is important reading for starting and experienced social employees alike. It is likewise an outstanding text for courses that include content on practice in long term care.”– Patricia Brownell, PhD, CSW, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, New York City
