Mental Health and Illness in Long-term Care

Mental illness is a common problem among nursing home residents, and a primary cause of behavioral management problems for staff. However, threats to mental health may also precipitate behavioral problems. Both types of problems are briefly reviewed in this introductory program. An emphasis is placed on accurate identification of the underlying causes of the difficult behavior, and on the staff's management of their own feelings about problem behaviors.
