The population of America is aging. Those of us who are facing retirement and may have to go to live in a nursing home within the next 15 or 20 years face a bleak future, unless the government and the people combine forces to change things for the better. As the general population of the United States ages, so does the population of healthcare workers. Young people are deciding not to join the profession, at a time when hospitals are discharging the seriously ill earlier than ever before, to the subacute wards of the very same nursing homes that are suffering from chronic understaffing and underfunding.

Are you concerned, interested or just want to know about health care in a nursing home? You should want to know about this! With every week that passes, the health care system in the United States remains in a profound state of crisis, and is set to grow still worse. The nursing home industry is one facet of our health care programs that is facing problems.

Guy Seaton knows this industry inside out. His book, The Crisis in America's Nursing Homes: What Are We Doing Wrong? explains the ins and outs of nursing home life and is a must-read for everyone, healthcare professionals and others alike. We can no longer rely on the healthcare system to do the right thing for senior citizens who will need medical and nursing care for a short period, or long term care. The Crisis in America's Nursing Homes takes an objective look at the situation in today's nursing homes, and gives pragmatic advice about how to make the best of it. If you're looking for the real story and up-to-date information about nursing homes today, you must make The Crisis in America's Nursing Homes your first stop.

Guy started working in nursing homes more than three decades ago. Since then, he's worked in the industry in many capacities - as a caregiver, an inspector, an administrator and the owner of his own healthcare facility. To say that he knows the industry inside out would be an understatement! As the health system of the United States teeters on the brink of collapse, Guy brings his intimate knowledge of the field to his discussion of what we're doing wrong - and what we should do to make it right.
