Reorganized, expanded, and updated, this new edition of the award-winning Lifestyle Redesign® gives practical guidance in this preventative occupational therapy program for independent-living older adults. The work integrates the concept of the USC’s landmark Well Elderly Studies, which determined that preventive occupational therapy greatly enhances the health and quality of life of independent-living older adults.
Twelve modules, including those on longevity, stress, home safety, and navigating health care, illustrate how to incorporate the program into practice. Includes a flash drive with program handouts.
This new edition highlights the effectiveness of interventions implementing Lifestyle Redesign in increasing older adults' health and quality of life. It outlines the steps for successful intervention and uses evidence to emphasize the cost-effectiveness of preventative occupational therapy.
