Produktbeschreibung

Bridging the Family Care Gap explores expected future shortages of family caregivers of older persons and identifies potential solutions. The book examines the sustainability and availability of care management models and whether they can be effectively scaled up to meet community needs. It identifies newly emerging policy initiatives at local, state, and federal levels. The book addresses the state of family caregiving science, dissemination and implementation of promising programs and supports, technological innovations, and other strategies to offset the family care gap. This edited volume also explores lay healthcare workers as guides, interpreters, and advocates in healthcare systems that provide continuity of contact for family caregivers.

Rezensionen

"This book is useful to identify issues, resources, and solutions based on the current inconsistency in coverage for the care of family members. A key factor this book considers is nontraditional family units as diversity in families grows. The book also presents academic models for helping caregivers in different work settings and what resources may be available to support them as they bridge the gap in family care needs." --© Doody's Review Service, 2021, Crystal L Plank, RN, BSN, RAC-CTA(MU Sinclair School of Nursing), reviewer, expert opinion
