Longer life expectancy, the aging baby boom population, and increasing numbers of older adults with chronic health conditions who want to remain in their own homes as they age are generating an urgent need for health care providers who possess specialized knowledge and skills in home health care. Answering the urgent call for a textbook that deals specifically with this setting, Goldie Kadushin and Marcia Egan synthesize current empirical research to extract practical applications for practice, emphasizing the 'how to' of gerontological home health care through a discussion of the field's most relevant issues. They include chapters on home health care policies and funding; cultural and diversity issues; the contemporary challenges of the social work role in home health care; the development of a relationship; the client's role in helping with care; individual and social system assessment and intervention; and practice evaluation. Detailed case studies and directions for accessing rapid assessment instruments are provided throughout the text. The volume also includes a table of programs and resources, and corresponding web sites link to appropriate services.
