Praise for earlier editions:"Beaulieu' s book. . . clearly articulates what on-the-ground nursing home social work practice involves. . . These resources are useful as it is rare to be exposed to this type of information or detail during one' s educational training. . . Beaulieu reveals layer upon layer of social worker roles, responsibilities, and important tools. This is a comprehensive guide for social workers. " - The Gerontologist
