Evaluating Residential Facilities: The Multiphasic Environmental Assessment Procedure

By Rudolf H. Moos and Sonne Lemke

Evaluating Residential Facilities is a professional volume that reports on a conceptually integrated method for measuring the quality of residential facilities for older adults--the Multiphasic Environmental Assessment Procedure. This comprehensive volume fully describes assessment procedures such as identifying the characteristics of the residents and staff, critiquing the physical and architectural features of a facility, determining residents′ and staff members′ appraisals of the social climate, and evaluating judgments from eternal observers. Throughout, the authors provide practical suggestions for administering and scoring all of the instruments and for giving feedback to program managers and staff. Case studies lead the user through patient assessment for a nursing home, a residential care facility, or a congregate apartment. Researchers examining the process and outcome of care and looking at how new types of programs change facilities and influence resident and staff welfare, as well as administrators who wish to improve their facilities and programs within federal regulations will find this book invaluable. short version (more to come)
