Book Description

July 1996
Enjoying their golden years should be an option for every elder. This book takes on this frightening yet timely topic, challenging elders and their families to begin assessing every option that can keep a loved one out of a nursing home. In this book, Dr. Amarnick sets goals for the reader and underscores the possibilities for approaching our elders' aging in new ways.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Dr. Amarnick argues for change and for avoiding nursing homes, revealing how elders can receive tender care at home with a minimum of impact on caregivers. This doesn't just address ambulatory conditions which are some of the easier to cope with: it surveys the needs of those bedridden or in chronic pain as well as emotionally disturbed individuals. Case history examples pepper practical and philosophical discussions. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Don't Put Me in a Nursing Home (Paperback)
The first 14 pages were facts about alternatives to nursing homes. It was dry compared to ELDER RAGE. Information was somewhat useful.
