""The book in its first four editions is a classic in the field, representing a 'gold standard.'""--James H. Swan, PhD, Department of Applied Gerontology, University of North Texas
""This is a good review of the area of gerontology and is an excellent guide to better practice in nursing home administration.""

The fifth edition has been extensively updated and revised to reflect the wealth of new legislation and regulations passed since the publication of the last edition in 2002; offers compelling new information on a wide array of topics, and adds several expanded sections.
