For administrators and students of long-term care, as well as policy makers, regulators, and consumer advocates, Pratt presents an overview of the state of long-term care in the US. He describes the major long- term care providers (including an overview of each as well as types and numbers of consumers served, financial aspects, and staffing, management, legal, and ethical issues), investigates the broader aspects of long-term care, identifies the skills needed by managers in long-term care organizations, and discusses the future of long-term care. The first edition included several chapters written by experts in the field; the latest edition is written entirely by Pratt (Long- Term Care Management Institute, St. Joseph's College of Maine).
