In 2006, seventy-seven million baby boomers-people who worked hard all their lives-will begin to turn sixty. They have a right to expect the best of everything, but if the nursing home industry doesn't change dramatically and soon, they can only expect the worst.

Produktbeschreibung
In 2006, seventy-seven million baby boomers-people who worked hard all their lives-will begin to turn sixty. They have a right to expect the best of everything, but if the nursing home industry doesn't change dramatically and soon, they can only expect the worst. Today, nearly two million people are institutionalized in nursing homes, and millions more will face the possibility of one day joining the ranks of system victims. Every American has a personal, vested interest in shifting the paradigm of a struggling industry that is on the verge of collapse and that ends patients' lives prematurely. Author and CPA Jerry L. Rhoads is a fellow of the American College of Health Care Administrators fellow, a licensed nursing home administrator, and the CEO of All-American Care, Inc. In Restore Elder Pride, he shares an educated insider's look at a system in crisis-and how each person can be a part of the solution. He outlines the three prevailing principles that make this problem solvable: ¿ Embrace the restorative care model as a necessary transition between the current medical and social models. ¿ Use computer technology and case management to customize care plans for each patient in order to manage interventions for positive outcomes. ¿ Pay for performance based on outcomes attained. He calls his approach restorative care, and that involves changing the approach to elder care to embrace more humane and productive outcomes. By restoring function of the mind, body, emotion, and spirit, Rhoads believes that the industry can be saved.

Autorenporträt
Jerry L. Rhoads is a CPA and a retired health care administrator ... born in Iowa and lives in the Chicago area with his wife of 63 years. He is the proud father of four, grandfather of 12, and great-grandfather of 11. He has been writing poetry since he was in eighth grade ... then began to record his works on a tape recorder while driving to his healthcare clients' offices. Over the years these were converted to typewritten form by his secretary ... after accumulating 12 three-ring binders full of paper versions, he began to convert them to digital, as he was retiring from his healthcare accounting and consulting practice. This resulted in over 3,000 pages and 320,000 words in the five Wonders of the World books. He has also just released a book coauthored with his wife titled "How to Live Forever, After) (12 wedding and habits that has contributed to their 63+ years of marriage).
