Synopsis

Describes the multi-dimensional assessment of older persons, offering insights into the state of this art. It combines reviews of the most widely used instruments for measuring a variety of domains (such as physiological status, cognition, affect, social function, quality of life, physical environment, and caregiver burden) with an exploration of the variety of uses to which these assessments have been put. It shows how assessment is used in various aspects of practice, including geriatric assessment, care planning, case management, and mandated assessments. It also contains a chapter on how to collect data from persons who cannot communicate. The aim throughout is to combine information on specific measures with insight into how and when each measure should be used. The book is designed to serve as both a resource for those working actively in the field and an introduction for those who are not familiar with assessment in a given area. This book is intended for geriatricians in practice and in training, case managers, nurses, social workers, gerontologists
