Reviews
"Subacute and Transitional Care Handbook is written clearly and precisely. . . .
Dr. Levenson takes the reader on a stepwise approach to an in-depth examination
of subacute care. . . . A major strength of the book resides in its
understandable presentation of a complex and oftern confusing field. . . . Other
strengths include the book's design, which enables the reader to use it to
reference specific questions. . . . In summary, Dr. Levenson has written the
'gold standard' text on subacute care." -Annals of Long-term Care
"This book aspires to present the first comprehensive, systematic approach for
the establishment and operation of a subacute care program. . . .Chapters are
arranged in an intuitive manner. . . . this text represents a seminal step in
the justification for and the description of subacute care services. . . . [I]t
starts from a 'first principles' approach and argues persuasively for subacute
care based on clinical need. . . . In many ways, this text does for subacute
care what the first sheriff provides in a contentious cacophonous boomtown: a
semblance of law and order. . . . The comprehensive nature of the text makes it
an excellent and necessary reference for any healthcare provider doing or
contemplating subacute care." -Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
