Helpful, clear and concise information presented.

If I had known that images are not viewable within this book via Kindle, I would have paid the additional money for a hardcopy of the book. This is virtually useless to me while trying to do school work and my homework references the Tables and all I see are black boxes where these tables should be displayed. Very disappointed!

Good read!

As a health care professional, I find this book an excellent reference and daily how-to book that I utilize frequently. It is up to date with relevant and easy to comprehend materials that is a must have for the nursing home and long-term care administrator.
