A1 - Resnick, Barbara PY - 2013 T2 - Essentials of Clinical Geriatrics, 7e AB - The focus of this chapter is the clinical care of nursing home residents. Some of the basic demographic and economic aspects of nursing home care are discussed in Chapters 2 and 15. Ethical issues relevant to nursing home care and palliative care are discussed in Chapters 17 and 18, respectively. Many older people who would have otherwise been in nursing homes are now residing in assisted living facilities or in their own homes. Management of older people with multiple medical problems and geriatric conditions in this setting is challenging. Chapter 15 and the Suggested Readings at the end of this chapter provide more information on this level of care.
