Restorative Care Nursing For Older Adults: A Guide For All Care Settings (Springer Series On Geriatric Nursing) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The purpose of restorative care nursing is to take an active role in helping older adults maintain their highest level of function, thus preventing excess disability. This book was written to help formal and informal caregivers and administrators at all levels to understand the basic philosophy of restorative care, and be able to develop and implement successful restorative care programs. The book provides a complete 6-week education program in restorative care for caregivers, many suggestions for suitable activities, and practical strategies for motivating both older adults and caregivers to engage in restorative care. In addition, the book provides an overview of the requirements for restorative care across all settings, the necessary documentation, and ways in which to complete that documentation.

Although this book offers wonderful information, that supports the necessity and benefits, that restorative care has for older adults in all care settings. The examples provided are very limited in each area of restorative care. This book would not increase the nursing assistants' knowledge base in the specific area of restorative nursing care. The book repeats the same basic information contained in every state mandated nursing assistant course curriculum in the nation. I was disappointed, I was expecting a useful tool to assist nursing assistants with additional information/training and skills to advance their practice in restorative care. I want to add, that I respect the collaboration of these four authors/educators for their research, published works, expertise and commitment to improving the quality of life of older adults residing in all care settings.This book is good for nurses that have no experience in restorative care and are not aware of the curriculum/course taught to nursing assistants students.
This is a great book on restorative nursing. The chapters include overview of restorative care, staff education, evaluating older adults for restorative care, restorative care activities, motivating the older adult to engage in restorative care, and documentation and reimbursement. The chapter on staff education includes copies of powerpoint slides that work very well for initial training of restorative aides. There are various forms scattered throughout the book and everything seems to be integrated with the quality assurance process. I was also happy to find a chapter on how to motivate residents. Overall, it is a most excellent book and far less expensive than BJ Collard's book. I highly recommend it.
This will be a very helpful reference as I venture into a new direction in my nursing career. I will need this when I start working as a restorative nurse.
This is a reference that is written in clear understandable language. It contains excellent examples.
the book had a lot of good information that I applied to my work.
