Pearce has done an excellent job of writing a sentinel primer for managing long-term care communities. The details are all there. Of even greater importance, the details are presented within the context of critical principles that distinguish the excellent community from the average or mediocre. As a faculty member responsible for a number of long-term care management courses at two schools of public health, this is one of a very limited number of texts that I assign as “must reads” for my students.
I used Mr. Pearce’s book as a guide in preparing my presentation at our dept. mgr. retreat last week (giving him credit of course!). As a result, a board member and a fellow dept mgr. ordered their own copies of this book. All-inclusive, professional approaches. I’m surprised–and grateful–that Mr. Pearce shares his expertise so openly. It’s refreshing to observe an author whose goal is to raise the bar for quality of care for the elderly, and help his competition achieve same through his generosity in sharing his own experience/knowledge. I’d give away every book in my library before I’d give up this one!!
