Dictionary+ Of Eldercare Terminology [Paperback]

In this updated and considerably expanded third edition, the Dictionary+ is the only comprehensive guide to the language of eldercare. Experts and consumers alike will find this reference tool of value. Its nearly 1,000 entries define all the major terms of eldercare and cover such subjects as Medicare, long-term care, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, prescription drug coverage, and home care. More than 50 encyclopedia-like overviews, written in outline format, give readers a broad understanding of the major topics of eldercare and provide a context to the definitions of specific terms and words. The first two editions of the Dictionary were quoted, cited and accredited by many sources including Medicare's consumer handbook Medicare and You and the official Medicare website, www.medicare.gov. No other work has received this recognition
