This book rediscovers this Priory Restorative Care model and places it in the public domain where others might be inspired to follow the originator's path. The Forgotten Revolution documents the care practices and the management infrastructure that restored dignity and wholeness to the older people who made the Priory Hospital their home. It is needed as much in the new millennium as it was 30 years ago. Journey back to the late 1960's and enter the mind and spirit of a visionary woman, Vera McIver. A nurse in her early 50's, new to management and new to caring for the elderly, she dared to think outside the box of traditional care and revolutionize institutional life for frail and ill older persons forever. In 1967 she rebelled against the prevailing system called custodial care - a system that triggered a cascade of effects that led to a loss of pride and dignity and the death of the human spirit. She created an approach called Restorative Care, which she defined as a programme to restore dignity of life to older institutionalized persons within the limits of their capabilities. The Priory Method contained most elements now recognized in 2003 as essential to a progressive residential environment for older persons. What has happened to this model of care in to-day's practices? Unfortunately the model still remains unknown to many working in long term care. In other instances, the model has appropriately changed and evolved over time as the ideas have permeated the culture of long-term care but few people know the origin or the extent of the ideas. By putting this information into the public domain we hope that readers will be informed and reminded about the salient features of the model. We also hope they will examine their own situations with older persons and use McIver's ideas to humanize them where needed. As we go to press the health care system is once again in crisis and advances made in the past are at risk of being lost. The shift to a preoccupation with health care costs is challenging some of the innovative ideas found expressed in this book and which have been successful. Yet again there is a need for creative and informed leadership if the rights of residents for humane and quality care are to be preserved. This book illustrates how one person might seize opportunities for change provided one has the courage and vision to do so.

Named a 2013 Doody's Essential Purchase! "This is a terrific text with good basic information and a level of detail, tools, and practicality that make it a useful resource to get older adults mobilized in any setting."--The Gerontologist "[This] book provides a practical hands-on perspective for implementing function focused care in all settings...[It] is a unique resource that is relevant for all nurses and health care providers working with older adults. In addition to addressing functional decline, function-focused care provides a fresh and practical solution to many of the problems that tend to arise with older adults such as infections, falls, and pressure ulcers all known to be associated with immobility." From the Foreword by Colin Milner CEO, International Council on Active Aging "This book encourages individualization, which is difficult to achieve with more prescriptive approaches. This second edition includes chapters on cognitively impaired adults, ethical issues, and patient-centered care, all of which are so important in long-term care. I found it to be very motivating in the way it helped me apply the philosophy and strategies to elders with whom I come in contact. I would highly recommend this book to anyone working with elders. Score: 95, 4 Stars--Doody's Medical Reviews The purpose of restorative care nursing (often referred to as function-focused care) is to take an active role in helping older adults maintain their highest level of function, thereby preventing excess disability. This is the only volume to educate caregivers about both the philosophy of restorative care and how to integrate it into all care settings for older adults. Now in its second edition, the text contains updated content in each chapter along with two entirely new chapters on function-focused care for cognitively impaired adults, ethical issues, and patient-centered care. The book provides a complete six-week education program in restorative care for nurses and other caregivers, numerous practical suggestions for beneficial activities that will enhance function, and strategies for motivating both older adults and caregivers to engage in restorative care. Woven throughout the text is research that documents the benefits and expected outcomes of restorative care. The book also includes the requirements for restorative care across all settings, and the necessary documentation. Restorative Care Nursing for Older Adults will help formal and informal caregivers and administrators at all levels assimilate the philosophy of restorative care and be able to develop and implement successful restorative care programs. This New Edition Features: Completely updated information, including two new chapters on function-focused care for cognitively impaired adults, ethical issues, and patient-centered care A six-week education program that teaches practical application of restorative care nursing Helpful suggestions and strategies for motivating older adults and caregivers Education materials designed for nursing home, assisted living, and acute care settings, including required documentation and goal-setting forms Educational materials for family caregivers

Increased studies in the last few years, have been reviewing a long standing question of a generation of aging adults above 65 years or older. The questions is how to maintain physical and mental health, while minimizing chronic conditions and decreasing medical costs of managing illnesses as the geriatric population continues to age. Physical Therapy (PT) is considered a short term solution, as treatment is short in duration, approximately 90 days. This paper is a review of how restorative nursing may assist with both physical and mental health care and maintenance to provide autonomy and quality of life to individuals in both facilities and in the community. Implementation of a standardized nursing plan to assist with ADL's, mobility, recreational, nutritional, and physical abilities can be addressed with a restorative care plan. Complications arise from immobility cause a strain on hospital care, emergency room visits, avoidable accidents/falls, and the costs of exacerbations of chronic conditions. A standardized restorative nursing plan would trigger a referral for care and allow interventions in the geriatric population and decrease the cost of medical care. Screening provided from admission and a referral system to restorative care as a continuation of care, may be cost effective as Medicare and most health insurances include restorative care as a preventative health measure. Restorative nursing care is a program in need of a universal guideline with evidence base practice to ensure quality care of the geriatric population is obtained and provided. Specialized training and promotion of policies reflecting the restorative nurse's role in an interdisciplinary team should be outlined within the context of a universal program to facilities and community programs. Evidence based studies are included in this paper to promote a cohesive restorative nursing program while discussing the positive outcomes of the geriatric population.
