Whether you're designing from the ground up or trying to improve the services of an existing facility, here is a cornucopia of techniques to make your care program more dementia-friendly. Margaret P. Calkins spearheads this 4-volume resource, which describes how to integrate the physical environment, care practices, and residents' needs into a complementary, holistic approach to dementia care. Each volume provides easy-to-implement ideas for making each facility's care culture more supportive of individual residents. Practical, detailed information about key areas of Alzheimer's care will enlarge your staff's understanding of residents' aging senses, cognitive and functional abilities, disruptive behaviors, and sense of identity. Help staff better understand the experience of Alzheimer's disease and learn simple ways to create better interactions! For each topic, learn about what the individual experiences, what staff can do to help, what the care environment-both the physical environment and staff practices-can do to help, and where to find products that support such enlightened care practices. In these no-nonsense, fully cross-indexed volumes, you can quickly find the advice you need anywhere in the series. Plus, quick-reference Summary Sheets provide handy tips and techniques, and the Behavior Tracking Form helps you identify and resolve underlying problems. From one of the country's leading experts in Alzheimer's care environments comes a unique and comprehensive new resource. Creating Successful Dementia Care Settings brings the innovative ideas and leadership of Dr. Calkins to your care environment.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) was estimated to be the twelfth leading cause of death worldwide in 1990. Of all the major diseases, COPD is one for which the burden is growing fastest. By 2020 it is expected to be the third leading cause of death and fifth leading cause of disability. COPD patients often have few complaints despite suffering considerable disability. As a result, although COPD can be easily diagnosed, it frequently is not. Available treatments for COPD, while unable to cure the disorder, can offer considerable benefit by reducing symptoms, improving function and reducing exacerbations, and may decrease healthcare costs associated with COPD. This book is designed to present an up-to-date summary of our understanding of COPD and of how patients should be evaluated and managed.
