Keeping Them Healthy... Keeping Them Home
More and more people are dealing with the need to care for a loved one — whether due to
the aging population, chronic diseases, or even short-term situations that make it
necessary to have a “patient” at home. And most family caregivers are untrained and
unprepared for the responsibility.
Here’s the practical knowledge you need to successfully face the challenges and rewards of caring for those you love. Every aspect of home healthcare, from the smallest detail of laundry management to how to choose a home care agency, is covered in a simple, straightforward way. You will learn how to adapt each room in your home to not only make care easier, but provide a safer and more comfortable environment. Keeping Them Healthy, Keeping Them Home demystifies the paperwork involved in securing adequate services such as physical and home intravenous therapies. It also covers what can and cannot be expected of visiting health professionals, detailing the role of social workers, doctors and home health aides.
