520 |a Successful Aging provides a wide array of information to combat predictable problems, to protect existing states of health and healthy functioning, and to promote attaining desired goals. The authors deal with primary prevention as a major helping tool for treatment and rehabilitation workers, augmenting their existing skills as we enter an age of managed care to increase preproblem health and healthy living, while reducing expensive post-problem services. 
520 8 |a This unique and user-friendly guide addresses both professionals and their clients, detailing health maintenance procedures that clients can perform for themselves. In a clear and lively style, Klein and Bloom describe over 40 preventive, protective, and promotive strategies for good health, a vital social life, and an insightful philosophical perspective. These goals are achieved by focusing on the natural strengths older persons possess or can develop, without ignoring the limitations of aging. Each strategy is presented as a series of achievable steps and includes cautions where necessary. As a valuable aid, lists of useful information are highlighted throughout the text.
