Acknowledgments
The inspiration for this book came from many sources, both
personal and professional. This book would not have been pos-
sible without the ongoing work and effort of my esteemed col-
leagues and contributors to enhance the quality of life for aged
and disabled individuals in our society.
Along with that are the acknowledgments due to a special
group of people who stood beside my goal of bringing this
book to fruition: my family and close friends, and my dedicated
associates chief among them, Abigail Marcus and Therese Capilli
whose diligence, knowledge and shared vision helped make my
dream of this contribution into a reality; and also to Mr. Alex
Radison for his help and support.
And finally, my day-to-day coworkers and patients and their
families are owed the greatest debt of gratitude for sharing the
goal of long-term care and quality rehabilitation for all.
