In recent years there have been many changes in residential provisions for elderly people. The number of privately run homes has increased significantly, and there is a greater variety in size and type of home, offering consumers a wider choice. Paul Brearley's earlier book, "Residential Work with the Elderly", has been widely used by residential workers, and in this new book he provides another wide-ranging and helpful introduction to good practice and management. Drawing on his extensive practical experience of social work and residential care, the author outlines the purposes and objectives of homes and what it is like to live and work in them. He looks at the factors that make for a good quality of life, considering how these can be promoted and how staff can work with people, both individually and in groups, to help them get the best out of life. He reviews current thinking about what happens to people as they grow older, and, at a practical level, he looks carefully at the day-to-day management of homes, suggesting how they should be organized in order to get the best out of staff, buildings, and resources. Unique in its coverage of the process of ageing, good practice, and good management, "Working in Residential Homes for Elderly People" takes into account the differing needs of both residents and staff. With its emphasis on the various aspects of the flexible, individual support necessary in providing "a good home", it will be invaluable to social work and social care students, residential workers, and their managers.
