At some time, most families will need to provide home care for an
aging family member who is ill or disabled. While home caregiving
provides many benefits, it takes careful planning, support, and
patience.
The American Medical Association Guide to Home Caregiving provides
the information you need to take the best possible care of an
elderly, ill, or disabled person in a home setting. Written by
experts from the American Medical Association, the book explains
such essentials as how to:
* Plan and arrange a room to adapt to a loved one's needs
* Give medications, maintain hygiene, monitor symptoms, deal with
incontinence, provide emotional support, and relieve boredom
* Choose a home healthcare provider
* Pay for home healthcare, including Medicare and Medicaid, and
long-term care insurance
* Care for a person with Alzheimer's disease or a terminal
illness
* Choose between alternative living arrangements such as assisted
living facilities or nursing homes
* Take care of yourself, the caregiver
With advice that touches both the physical and the emotional
aspects of caregiving, this supportive, practical handbook will
help make the experience as successful and rewarding as possible
for you and your loved one.
For more than 150 years, the American Medical Association has been
the leading group of medical experts in the nation and one of the
most respected health-related organizations in the world. The AMA
continues to work to advance the art and science of medicine and to
be an advocate for patients and the voice of physicians in the
United States.
