MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

Now in its eighth edition, Nursing Home Administration remains the authoritative textbook detailing the nursing facility administrator role, what they do, how they think, and how they lead. By breaking down the art of administration into its basic, need-to-know tasks-forecasting, planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling quality, innovating, and marketing-this text provides the essential context to managing and leading nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities. Thoroughly updated to include the four domains of practice as put forth by the National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB) for 2022 licensure examination and beyond, this textbook is complete with essential context for the domains and associated competencies to better prepare students for the required NAB examination.

With revised sections addressing new federal regulations and laws affecting the field, best practices in residential care, and refreshed examples and cases, this text continues to set students up for success in working as a nursing facility administrator. Updated sections address changes within the residential care continuum, provide further information on patient-driven payment models and value-based care, and inform current practices for marketing and controlling quality within the long-term care facility. Chapter boxes reflect common pitfalls in practice while real-life case studies and critical thinking exercises, including a "What Do I Do Now?" section that concludes all chapters, encourage students to consider challenges they may experience in the field. In addition to updated domains of practice-care, services, and supports; operations; environmental and quality; and leadership and strategy-the book describes how core components fit together.
