Millions of Americans will encounter nursing homes over the next ten years. Millions more will be their caregivers. The paradox of care giving is that while our experiences are similar our coping skills are unique. Ice Floes and Polar Bears: An Inside Look at Nursing Homes is an easy-to-read, at times humorous, book for families, caregivers, residents, and students. The storytelling style pulls you into one vivid scene after another and the vignettes provide practical advice on everything from dealing with guilt to coping with burnout.

This review is from: Ice Floes And Polar Bears: An Inside Look At Nursing Homes (Paperback)
Grace Rudolph is a talented writer who will make you laugh out loud. She knows firsthand what it's like to be faced with placing a loved one in a nursing home. She also knows what it's like to work in one. Reading her stories is like sitting down with a good friend who knows how to tell a good story. If you are looking for a serious book that reads like a news report on the dangers of nursing homes then this isn't the one for you.

This review is from: Ice Floes And Polar Bears: An Inside Look At Nursing Homes (Paperback)
I WAS HOPING TO READ SOME HARD CORE INSIDE INFO ON SOME OF THE HORRORS WE HEAR ABOUT NURSING HOMES AND WAS SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS FEEL GOOD PG VERSION OF A SOCIAL WORKER DEALING WITH PATIENTS, RED TAPE AND FAMILIES.
