A Caregivers Guide: A handbook about end-of-life care
Successful care of dying patients at home depends heavily
on teams of family, friends, and hospice volunteers. Usually family members have no experience of bedside care of very ill patients and require education during the course of the disease. This book will educate caregivers to make them more effective members of the team. It will also increase the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment they experience as they care for their loved ones.
This book is highly practical, organized and well illustrated.
Caregivers who read this book will be reassured that they can handle the care required to help a dying person stay at home for as long as possible and even until the time of death, if that is the goal.
