This book presents sensitive and empathic regulatory compliant methods for the delivery of care that fosters an empowering environment for all stakeholders. Additional new information includes aging in place, trauma-informed care, ethical dilemmas and collaborative decision-making, workforce culture, and surveys, enforcement actions, and appeals.
