| Summary |
This manual is designed to help clinicians, administrators, and families attain the goal of restraint-free care of frail elderly persons. Practical alternatives to restraint models of support, developed by nursing home and hospital caregivers, are presented as individualized care models. The manual is organized in outline form to highlight critical material and to ensure quick access to solutions. The objectives of restraint-free care include not only comfort and safety, but the best possible quality of life. This philosophy of care requires that caregivers make sense of clients' behaviors, rather than to simply control their responses. |
