Nursing Homes: The Family's Journey

 
Nursing Homes - The Family's Journey

A complete guide for family members facing the practical and emotional issues that arise in seeking nursing home care and who are learning to be "the family member" of someone in a nursing home or senior's housing.

Nursing Homes: The Family's Journey, starts where you do, with talking to your loved one about care. It helps you through the whole process, discussing how to make decisions as a family, how to find  care, what good care is, how nursing homes function,  how to prepare yourself and your loved one, admission day,  adjustment, grief, loss,  care issues, how to obtain the best possible care, communicating with the system, problem solving, visiting, and death and dying.

The book includes seventeen personal stories written by caregivers on what they went through and how they handled their  process. 

 



 

"These true stories speak with power and passion…We love the book"

--Dr. William Thomas, author of "The Eden Alternative"


 

"Although I have read other books about nursing home placement and nursing home quality, this book stands out for its focus on the feelings of the families at this stressful time. I was very impressed with the insertion of narratives from family members between the chapters. Hearing directly of the experiences of family caregivers reinforces the material and makes the chapter's information more immediate and less didactic. The content of the chapters is excellent."

--Doody’s Health Sciences Journal: ***** (Five/five stars)
