Publisher Description
Dementia beyond Drugs: Changing the Culture of Care. G. Allen Power. Baltimore: Health Professions Press, 2010, 264 pages. ISBN 978-193252-956-2 $32.95 paperback. The percentage of the U.S. population age 65 or older is projected to increase from 12.4 percent in 2000 to 19.6 percent in 2030 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003). In addition, a recent study regarding the prevalence of dementia, primarily a disease of those 65 and older, found that 3.4 million Americans age 71 and older have dementia, one in seven of the people in this group (Plassman et al., 2007). As the number of people with dementia increases, the need for improved methods of care increases. Improved methods of care are essential to addressing the quality of life of those with dementia and the costs of their long-term care.
Customer Reviews
Not the actual book!
What a low scam. $6 for 21 pages. Putting "book review" in brackets at the end of the title to trick people in to thinking they were buying the actual book. This sort of scam shouldn't be allowed by Apple. I am never buying another book on iTunes ever again. You are thieves.
