Description
This book provides a comprehensive review of the current status of community care as well as practical guidance on the provision of community based services. The trend towards reducing the number of long term hospital admissions has raised many controversial issues. The editors, approaching the subject from different points of view, have assembled a team of leading authorities to address these issues. All aspects of community care are covered including a unique chapter written from the user's perspective.
