With a clear and compassionate gaze, the author analyzes the challenges of applying the Person-Centered Care (PCC) model in real-world settings. The reader will find a profound analysis of the routine, structural shortcomings, and the small gestures of humanity that endure amidst institutional wear and tear. Far from merely denouncing these issues, the book proposes concrete paths for improvement to humanize care in the corridors of nursing homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Book to the Corridors is a text that explores the gap between the theoretical principles of geriatric care and the daily reality in nursing homes. The author, with great realism and sensitivity, sets the work in the corridors of these facilities, where the reader can perceive the daily routine, structural deficiencies, and the small gestures of humanity that persist despite institutional wear. Each chapter addresses a daily problem, such as excessive workload, excessive bureaucracy, the commodification of care, and the lack of strong leadership. The work not only denounces these difficulties but also proposes concrete ways to improve the quality of life for residents and the working conditions of the staff, advocating for the urgency of humanizing care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePerson-Centered Care (PCC) in geriatric nursing homes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWorkload and working conditions for care staff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBureaucracy and commodification in the health and social care sector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLeadership and management in elderly care institutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHumanization of care and small gestures of humanity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at professionals in the health and social care field, such as nursing home staff, geriatricians, nurses, assistants, and psychologists.
