Seen as the panacea for a number of woes, particularly for older people, intermediate care has been held up as a way forward within contemporary health and social care.  \u003cp\u003eThis text explores in detail what is understood by the concept of intermediate care and, in particular, ways in which the needs of older people can be best met by this new range of services. Initial discussion centres on the concept of intermediate care and the motives for its development. This is followed by a summary of the range of intermediate care services that have been developed, with a discussion of some of the confusion that surrounds the concept.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe debate then moves on to centre on older people, discussing first why older people have come to be perceived as one of the main client groups that may benefit from intermediate care, and then how intermediate care could be developed to better serve their needs. An overview of ageing and the uniqueness of older people is then provided, followed by an exploration of some of the challenges faced by older people within society - and how this has extended into the delivery of health and social care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe Concept and Context of Intermediate Care.  \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding Ageing and The Older Person in Society and in Health Care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlanning, Developing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMonitoring and Evaluating new Intermediate Care Services.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDelivering intermediate Care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreparing Staff for Delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nursing%20\u0026amp;%20ancillary%20services%20%5BMQ%5D%22\"\u003eMQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52507421311256,"sku":"9781861563569","price":58.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781861563569.jpg?v=1786446312","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/intermediate-care-of-older-people-paperback-softback-9781861563569","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
