This review is from: In the care of strangers (Paperback)

The book is well written and easy to read. Narratives introduce the reader to each chapter, as well as interesting people. Those who have (or will have) a relative or friend in a nursing home must read for the unique perspective from the resident's angle.

IN THE CARE OF STRANGERS reminds me as a parent to have fun with our children TODAY and make appropriate plans. As a daughter I am reminded that the homemade hugs and cookies will not always be there and to enjoy them. As a nurse I recall through tears, those precious folk who for just a brief moment in time, were in our care and eternally in our hearts. Thank you to the authors for this rich, fresh breeze straight off of great-grandma's porch.
