Family Caregiver Guide is a practical guide for families and friends to use in providing care to persons at home. Written by professional home health nurses Shelly Schonhoff, RN and Joanna Speaker, RN, who have extensive experience in helping families cope with caregiving responsibilities, this book provides solutions to problems families experience as they come to grips with home care responsibilities.
With over 11 million people providing home care for their loved ones, help nurses, discharge planners, and home health staff cannot meet all the needs of families. Someone caring for the person who has just been diagnosed with a condition or who has just been discharged from an acute care center, needs a practical guide in home caregiving. Family Caregiver Guide is the helpful tool families need to bolster confidence, provide inspiration, and reassure caring individuals that they are not alone.
