Review of The Hospice Choice: In Pursuit of a Peaceful Death (Paperback)

I found this book educational and easy to read. It provides a very clear picture of hospice and palliative care to the layperson. I wish that more physicians and their staff would read books like this so they could better prepare patients and their families for hospice care. I also wish I had read it before my mother died because I would have known better questions to ask our hospice and perhaps would have received better care for mom, myself and the rest of thefamily.

Review of The Caregiver's Guide: Helping Older Friends and Relatives with Health and Safety Concerns (Paperback)

If you ever wished for a very experienced Doctor and / or nurse, with the time to give you all the information you needed, this book is the answer to your prayers.The guide is the culmination of Carolin's interviews with leading doctors, nurses, social workers, and researchers.

A MUST 'keep handy' reference book. The material isunderstandable and complete.Each chapter deals with a group of related problems.For instance, Chapter 6 is titled "Oh, My Aching Bones'. It covers basic problems through hip replacement and includes "Yes, Basic Problems Have Typical Solutions" and"When Do You Need a Doctor".

I have bought several for friends and recommend it to each caregiver I meet.It offers practical solutions to common problems, safety tips, hands-on care, and most important, how the issues relate to older people.
