Long Term Care : An Annotated Bibliography (Bibliographies and Indexes in Gerontology)

This broadly-framed bibliography deals with the many complex and diverse issues related to chronic illness and chronic care services. Following a brief introduction, the bibliography is arranged in topical chapters dealing with the history of long term care, institutional care, community services, administrative issues, noninstitutional care, housing, costs of long term care, minorities and special populations, ethics, public policy issues, and demographics. Author and subject indexes make the information easily accessible for students, teachers, policymakers, health care providers, and general readers to use in academic, institutional, and public libraries.
