by Compiled by American Medical Association
A definitive guide to taking care of loved ones at home, this sensitive, reliable resource provides step-by-step instructions and much-needed guidance and encouragement to anyone who is caring for a loved one at home.
Summary
First line
Before you begin caring for a loved one at home, it's a good idea to consult with the other members of the caregiving team-such as doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers, and family members-to identify and develop an effective strategy.
From the rear cover
At some time, most families will need to provide home care for an aging family member who is ill or disabled. While home caregiving provides many benefits, it takes careful planning, support, and patience.
The American Medical Association Guide to Home Caregiving provides the information you need to take the best possible care of an elderly, ill, or disabled person in a home setting. Written by experts from the American Medical Association, the book explains such essentials as how to:
- Plan and arrange a room to adapt to a loved one's needs
- Give medications, maintain hygiene, monitor symptoms, deal with incontinence, provide emotional support, and relieve boredom
- Choose a home healthcare provider
- Pay for home healthcare, including Medicare and Medicaid, and long-term care insurance
- Care for a person with Alzheimer's disease or a terminal illness
- Choose between alternative living arrangements such as assisted living facilities or nursing homes
- Take care of yourself, the caregiver
With advice that touches both the physical and the emotional aspects of caregiving, this supportive, practical handbook will help make the experience as successful and rewarding as possible for you and your loved one.
For more than 150 years, the American Medical Association has been the leading group of medical experts in the nation and one of the most respected health-related organizations in the world.
