Description

Long Term Caring: Residential, home and community aged care addresses the requirements of the National Community Services Training Package for students undertaking the Certificate III in Individual Support and Certificate IV in Individual Support. Adapted from Mosby's Textbook for Long-Term Care Nursing Assistants 7th ed, by Sheila Sorrentino, the ANZ text is written by leading educators and practitioners from Australia and New Zealand. The text provides information on all aspects of personal caring to prepare students to work in a range of aged care settings and specialisations; aged care, disability and community. The focus is on the delivery of care that compliments an individual's needs and enhances quality of life. The 4th edition will continue to provide a comprehensive reference text that presents the role of the carer as holistic rather than a series of skills and procedures performed in isolation.
