520 _a"Elderly Care: Current Issues and Challenges first presents an analysis of the ethical and societal issues related to the introduction of new patient and care/caregiver monitoring technologies. A comprehensive review of assisted living technologies aimed at helping elderly people to perform activities of daily living is provided, and associated challenges identified through this review are discussed. The authors go on to maintain how it is incumbent on the Lebanese government to find ways to invest in economic and social development targeted at providing accessible and high-quality services to its older population to ensure a respectful and independent life. Socio-demographic changes, social and economic developments, health services and financing relative to the elderly population in Lebanon are discussed in further detail. Additionally, this compilation investigates the impact of further training of care workers on the quality of care in nursing homes in Canada through a multiple regression analysis technique. An overview of the aging populations in Hong Kong, Japan, and Germany is presented. The perceptions of nursing homes held by older and middle-aged adults and their expectations of what nursing homes will be like in the future are explored. Following this, the effects of a non-drug pain management program for older adults in a nursing home environment are assessed. A review of substance use and abuse coverage in Medicare home health is provided in conjunction with an exploratory study based on interviews of a sample of 26 home care social workers in the New York City metropolitan area. In closing, the authors discuss the findings of two studies on home care aides in Maine and, from the perspective of the study participants, offer recommendations for improving job conditions"--
